Research Methods is designed to serve both theoretical and practical purposes. The unit begins by introducing you to the philosophy, logic and nature of research. The unit asks you to reflect on how we come to know certain things through…

This unit is specifically designed for graduates requiring a rigorous yet applied and functional knowledge of signal conditioning and data acquistion appropriate for experiments carried out in the maritime field. The subject matter has been designed around the specific problems…

This unit introduces students to maritime hydrodynamics and Computational Fluid Dynamics to solve hydrodynamics problems. On successful completion of the unit, students should be able to:Develop and apply the mathematical formulation of the basic laws governing laminar, turbulent fluid flow…

This unit advances students' knowledge in the hydrodynamic and structural concepts governing the design and analysis of maritime vessels. Students advance their knowledge of science by applying it to design areas relevant to the maritime industry.…

This unit is specifically designed for graduates requiring an advanced knowledge of how to get significant engineering works published in peer-reviewed scientific publications. Students are shown: how to structure their writing; how to present data; and how to address reviewers'…

This unit is specifically designed for graduates requiring an advanced knowledge of onboard practices for a scientific research ship. Students will be required to undertake basic ship safety training via the ESS short course prior to commencement of this unit.…

The emphasis in this unit is on training scientists to be literate in statistical issues so that both "consumers" and "producers" of data analysis will be able to effectively communicate. Students will be able to critically assess, understand, and use…

This unit provides an overview of marine biosecurity through the investigation of concepts, regulatory approaches, assessment and management of marine invasions. The syllabus includes a conceptual and historical introduction to marine invasion biology, global perspectives on biological invasions, pathways of…

This unit provides students with an understanding of the relationship between society and the marine environment and the varied and contested nature of these connections. Students will learn about different stakeholder groups and their interests in the marine environment, with…

This unit provides the student with the ability to describe the drivers for responsible fishing, critically appraise the ecological impacts of fishing on the marine environment (such as bycatch, seabed interactions and ghost fishing), recommend mitigation measures to minimise impacts,…

This unit is designed to provide students planning to undertake or who are undertaking research training with the skills and capacity to learn statistical techniques required for their research. The emphasis is on the conceptual understanding of statistical analyses commonly…

This unit provides the student with an understanding of the processes for managing commercial, recreational and traditional fisheries under the principles of Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD). On the successful completion of this unit, students will be able to describe the…

This unit develops the student's knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of the Marine Superintendent and the management skills that are required for ensuring that the maintenance of all shipboard machinery and equipment is carried out to standards specified by…

This unit develops the student's knowledge of the role and responsibilities of Marine Surveyors and the skills that are necessary for carrying out marine survey work and the preparation of subsequent survey reports. It also considers a number of different…

This unit introduces the work flow processes in shipyard related workshop and on-board operations. The former will include: all major workshops such as steel works, mechanical engineering, piping and electrical. On-board work will cover machinery, space, pumping operations, hull repairs,…
