    Computing Applications in Mechatronics Systems

    Engineering

    COURSE CODE

    MTRN3500

    The aim of this course is to implement software for vehicle simulation and control. The previously acquired C/C++ programming and control systems knowledge is used to develop user interfaces, simulations models and control algorithms for the control of vehicles including car-like robotic vehicles, tracked vehicles such as bulldozers and four-wheel-steer and four-wheel-drive vehicles. Kinematic and/or dynamic models of these vehicles will be used in developing simulation models. In addition, the course will also teach the interfacing of data acquisition systems, motion control systems, sensors such as inertial sensors, GPS sensors, laser sensors and encoders to facilitate sensing and actuation. The course has an extensive experimental content where the above developed software will be used to control either a tracked vehicle or a wheeled vehicle.

    Computing for Engineers

    Engineering Systems & Technology

    COURSE CODE

    ENGG1811

    Computing is an integral part of modern engineering. Computing is used in the design, automation, experimentation, monitoring, diagnosis, data collection, data analysis, visualisation and many other aspects of engineering. A very important skill for engineers is to be able to use computers to help them to solve problems efficiently. The aim of this course is to give an introduction to computing for engineers with an emphasis on computational problem solving. In order to realise this aim, the students will learn to use the Python programming language and some its many packages to solve problems. Since the course is designed primarily for engineers, the computing examples are often presented together with an engineering context to help the students to appreciate the applications of computing in engineering. This course also includes a minor component in Matlab and spreadsheet.

    Concepts in Pharmacy is the first pharmacy course of the UNSW Pharmacy Program. In this course, you will gain an understanding of the profession and an appreciation of the core concepts and skills that are critical to the role of a practicing pharmacist. You will explore the breadth of professional pathways open to you, from drug discovery through to clinical practice to help set you up for success throughout the program and your career and will complete your first pharmacy placement.

    This course discusses and relates a range of programming language concepts and paradigms, including imperative, object-oriented, functional, concurrent & parallel programming. It covers the theoretical foundations (syntax, operational, axiomatic and denotational semantics) as well as practical development and implementation aspects (dynamic and strong typing, polymorphism, overloading, automatic memory management, and concurrency). Due to the course topics, a variety of programming languages will be studied and used. Assignments will be in the programming language Haskell, but no previous knowledge of Haskell is assumed.

    Confronting the Past in Contemporary Europe

    COURSE CODE

    What role does history play in European identities and politics and how has this changed over time? How have Europeans interpreted, used or tried to avoid their complex and often conflictual pasts? What, and whom, have they celebrated or condemned, and why? In this course, you will be introduced to the interdisciplinary fields of 'transitional justice' and 'memory studies' in the context of Europe since the Second World War. Considering cases from Spain to Ukraine, you will explore diverse approaches to the histories and legacies of fascism, Nazism, the Second World War, the Holocaust, Soviet-style communism and colonialism. You will study the ways in which these pasts have been addressed or reconfigured, including though trials and purges, through commemorative rituals, memorials, and museums, and through official histories and popular memories. You will learn about how Germany has 'come to terms' with its Nazi past; about how Stalinism and the Soviet Union are remembered in Putin’s Russia; and about how the European Union has sought to promote shared European memories of Europe’s difficult pasts.

Bryant University

"I’m so beyond thankful for Hop! Studying abroad can be overwhelming at times, but having this program made all the difference for me. It gave me the chance to meet so many amazing people who turned into real friends, try so many new things, and feel genuinely supported while navigating life in a new country.

From the Byron Bay orientation to our trip to the zoo, every moment felt so special. Cairns was unforgettable, especially seeing the Great Barrier Reef in person, and exploring Melbourne (plus going to an AFL game!) was such a highlight.

What really stood out to me was the support system Hop created. Having people constantly looking out for you made everything feel less scary and so much more meaningful.

My study abroad experience truly would not have been the same without Hop. I’m so grateful for every memory, every person, and every opportunity it gave me."

Walter

Michigan State University

"Growing up, I was a huge fan of Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter. He inspired me a lot to get into my major and study wildlife. Australia is about as wild as it gets. Right now, I am living the best life."

Gabby

University of Florida

“Studying abroad with Hop has truly been the best decision I have ever made. In a short amount of time, I have explored the lively rainforests and the shimmering Great Barrier Reef. I've climbed mountains, sat at the edge of waterfalls, and even surfed the waves of the Gold Coast. I've met so many new friends from different backgrounds who unite on the same goal of discovering and learning, and I couldn’t have done that without Hop.”
