This unit introduces the fundamental concepts of modern communication systems. On completion of this unit you will be able to design and construct a digital communication system. The unit begins with an introduction to signaling theory and the modulation theorem. The communication channel will then be explained using additive white Gaussian process. Minimising the distortion while demodulating...

This unit introduces advance techniques to mitigate the impairments of modern communication systems. The topics covered include: (1) small-scale channel models, non-dispersive and dispersive fading models, intersymbol interference and multipath propagation. (2) Channel impulse response estimation and channel equalisation using decision feedback detection, MAP detection, Trellis diagrams, maximum...

In this unit you will learn about the relationships between design elements. Through structured activities and workshops, you will learn how to organise designs artefacts into complex compositions and assemblies. By developing an awareness of the social, material, and cultural relationships between design artefacts you will critically evaluate the contexts in which design is produced, distributed,...

In this unit you will be introduced to Digital Control Systems, their applications, and the industries they are applied in. Through case studies and site visits (where possible) you will also investigate the use of digital control systems across a range of contexts. This unit will cover both hardware and software systems in practice, real-time measurement and response, open and closed-loop control...

Students learn, through theory and laboratory experiments, to solve problems in dynamics and vibrations, using Newtonian kinematics and kinetics of rigid bodies. The course commences with planar motion with analysis of velocities then moving onto Coriolis acceleration of rigid bodies. Building upon the concepts of kinetics of particles, an introduction is made to rigid body kinetics using...

The primary objective of this unit is to cultivate a comprehensive grasp of various economic and ethical theories and their implications for managerial decision-making. While it will establish fundamental knowledge and an appreciation of neoclassical economics, the emphasis will not be on the mathematical application of these theories. Instead, the unit will explore economic frameworks that go...

The aim of this unit is to provide an introduction to the concepts, principles and practice of exporting and importing goods. The unit is arranged in 12 modules. It starts by examining classical and modern theories of international trade. Marketing is an essential element of export practice and therefore a significant portion of this unit is devoted to market selection, market entry strategies,...

Extreme sports have increased in popularity over the last few years and are practised by many people, often in remote and extreme environment settings. This unit takes a multi-disciplinary approach and looks at training, prevention, engineering and safety equipment, management of the injured extreme athlete and medical event coverage. This unit broadens your medical horizons to include BASE...

In this unit, students will develop an understanding of farming as a business. The unit will cover the application of economic principles to support management decisions of a farm business, specifically focusing on how land, labour and capital are used to attain the goals and aspirations of owners. Using case studies of farm businesses, students will use economic and financial techniques to...

Finite Element Analysis (JEE350) is an advanced unit that introduces the student to the theory and application of the Finite Element Method in engineering analysis and design. In addition to learning the theoretical bases of the finite element method the student will also develop his/her applied/practical engineering skills by taking part in a problem based learning activity conducted throughout...

This is the first of three English units you will undertake in the B.Ed. degree. The foundations of English are explored in two key modules, with the first focusing on the nature of language, culture, and how young people learn to use language from birth, and the second provoking curiosity about language functions and forms. It also introduces the beginnings of critical thinking about texts and...

This unit will equip students with an understanding of the research methods used in health disciplines in order to interpret published research, and design research of their own. The Unit content includes the theoretical underpinning of both qualitative and quantitative research methods, and the links between the two. Students will learn how to search for and critically appraise published...

This unit extends the student's understanding of the concepts of genetics and molecular biology obtained in CXA315 Cell and Molecular Biochemistry. The unit focuses on medical molecular genetics, providing detailed study of genetic mutations and inheritance patterns of genetic diseases. Laboratory sessions will cover molecular diagnostic techniques ...

The unit accommodates students with varied prior knowledge of molecular biology with an introductory module on basic molecular biology concepts and then focuses on medical molecular genetics, providing detailed study of genetic mutations, inheritance patterns of genetic diseases and laboratory investigation of diseases. Laboratory sessions will cover molecular diagnostic techniques. This unit is...

This unit is designed to give students an appreciation of the significance of research in future ICT professional practice. This unit provides an introduction to both qualitative and quantitative approaches and will provide students with basic research skills, knowledge and understanding that will enable them to conduct their own research in an ethical and rigorous manner. In addition, students...

Land development projects are a key component of the work program for many surveying firms. The surveyors’ role in these projects requires them to have knowledge of subdivision infrastructure in order to effectively communicate with engineers, draftspeople and planners throughout the design and construction process. In this unit, you will be introduced to subdivision design methodologies for...

In this unit, you will be introduced to why and how leaders influence change. The focus of the unit is increasing the effectiveness of leadership and change management skills at an individual and organisation levels. Leadership and change management are increasingly seen to be key factors affecting the performance of contemporary organisations and are important areas of study in the fields of...

Managing Minor Ailments focusses on patient-centred care with patient counselling concepts and application of communication skills in clinical scenarios. This patient-centred care is extended to the study of over-the-counter (OTC) medications. Principles of drug therapy such as adverse reactions, drug interactions, medication adherence, patient counselling are discussed and applied to simulated...
