The objective of this unit is to provide a thorough grounding in electromagnetism from both a modern and classical perspective, and to appreciate the mathematical framework through which quantitative problems in these areas can be solved. Applications of physical principles in daily life and technology form a key part of the learning activities in the unit. Students are encouraged to develop...

In this unit you will explore the importance of agribusiness management plans, links with business strategy and how agribusiness managers can integrate the outputs of planning into business management and operations. Planning is an essential activity for agribusiness managers in order to guide the allocation of valuable resources to priority areas. Concepts and techniques will be introduced to...

Trains run on tracks within the rail corridor, which is a defined strip of land for the exclusive purpose of the railway business. However, within that corridor there are many items and infrastructure not only to ensure that trains can run effectively, efficiently and economically, but also to allow the passage of cars, pedestrians, passengers, freight, etc within the corridor, over it, under it,...

This unit is about the application of biological principles and ecological science to the problems of conserving the diversity of animals and plants in ecosystems undergoing rapid change. You will gain an understanding of: current threats to biodiversity; tools and strategies to prevent declines and extinctions of species in the wild and maintain functioning ecosystems; current trends and...

Students are introduced to the state-of-the-art numerical methods and the application of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in civil and mechanical engineering. The unit is delivered in three parts. The first two parts provide knowledge and skills to design, derive and implement FEA and CFD methods to solve partial differential equations. In the third part,...

The units overlays a formal environmental engineering framework to environmental and sustainability topics and shows how the traditional design process can be extended to include these issues. The aim is for students to develop the necessary knowledge and skills to identify potential environmental risks and opportunities associated with projects, undertake the basic design of environmental...

Biochemistry is an important biological science, often referred to as the chemistry of life, because biochemical processes are essential in order for all living organisms (e.g. humans, fish and plants) to exist. It is biochemistry that allows the mechanisms behind the processes that occur in biology and physiology to be understood. This unit is designed to introduce you to the fundamental...

Good communication skills are essential to managing people and organisations. Management Communications will provide students with theoretical understanding of what communication is (hint: communication is everywhere, all the time!), and a range of practical communication skills relevant to managing people and organisations in a variety of contexts. Students will deepen their understanding of key...

The unit integrates Watchkeeping theory and practical application and problem-solving exercises involving the use of the Integrated Marine Simulator. Students will also develop skills and knowledge to carry out watchkeeping procedures, respond to potential collision and emergency situations, IALA Buoyage System, maintain an accurate record in the vessels log, and Bridge Resource Management....

A Parliamentary Internship is available at the Parliament of Tasmania. It involves a part-time placement with a Member of Parliament or a Parliamentary Committee and involves the intern undertaking a practical, research-oriented report. The internship aims to give students experience in practical aspects of political research and policy-making analysis. ...

This unit introduces fundamental programming skills, developing students' ability to think algorithmically to solve problems and to express their ideas in well-constructed Python code. Beginning with the fundamental characteristics of computers and how they represent information, the unit develops the concepts of data types, variables, expressions (calculations), statements (actions), and...

This Bachelor of Architecture and Built Environments Representing Architecture unit focuses on establishing key ideas and capacities related to the analysis, processing and communication of aspects of design. Only existing at Introductory level, the unit provide the foundation for practice in Architecture and Design fields. Representing Architecture introduces representative works from the...

Expectations of leaders in educational and other settings can change significantly over the course of a career. In addition to understanding individual issues of changing professional identity, self-preparation, and role transition, leaders are required to engage with heightened responsibilities when government and institutional reforms of structure, culture and practice entail high stakes...
