The aim of this course is to provide students with a broad understanding of the principles of analytical chemistry and their application in the areas of environmental and medicinal/pharmaceutical sciences and advanced materials. Depending on their program, students will have the opportunity to apply analytical chemical methods in any one of the following areas: 1. Environmental Sciences: Students apply analytical techniques to study the chemical processes that form the basis for the operation of the three spheres of the natural environment (atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere), and the changes brought about by human activities and broad environmental factors (e.g. climate). 2. Medicinal/Pharmaceutical Sciences: Students are introduced to the fundamental instrumental methods of chemical analysis commonly used in pharmaceutical laboratories. The laboratory introduces the students to practical skills on the separation, purification and quantitation of pharmaceutically relevant compounds. 3. Advanced Materials: Students are introduced to the fundamental analytical techniques that are useful for the purification and characterisation of advanced materials. Students will be given the opportunity to further apply these methodologies to more specific groups of advanced materials in other courses within the BSc Chemistry (Advanced Materials) program. This course will provide lectures for all students focusing on analytical methods and the underlying theoretical principles. Lectorials and laboratories will extend the lecture with emphasis on applications on any of the above-mentioned areas. Students will be streamed in lectorials and labs according to their program or major or interest (in the case of those taking the course as an elective).

If data is the oil of the 21st Century, then artificial intelligence (AI) is its engine. Across a wide range of application areas, system designers leverage the advances in machine learning to process large volumes of data (e.g. audio, image, video) in an attempt to extract meaningful information from data, automate complex tasks, and support human decision making. This course equips students with the practical skills to apply existing AI tools and libraries to practical application areas such as business, education, and health.

The course introduces Fourier analysis from an applied perspective. Fourier series and the Fourier transform are developed as links between the domains of time and frequency. Connections between the analogue and digital worlds are made through the sampling theorem and the Fast Fourier Transform. Applications to quantum physics are explored through Heisenberg uncertainty. Further applications to partial differential equations, tomography and probability/statistics are also explored.

This course will address learning in diverse contexts through an applied learning (or WIL) experiences. In this elective course, students will travel as part of an Outbound Mobility Experience (Study Tour) to visit key sites relevant to developing an understanding of applied learning in an a-typical context. Students will engage in Work Integrated Learning in these situations. Students will develop skills in cultural awareness before they visit the site and will reflect on the growth or otherwise of these understandings when they return. Students will develop an understanding of community cooperation in successful learning. For School of Education students, it will directly address the ACARA Australian Curriculum General Capability of Intercultural Understanding and the Sustainability perspective of the Australian curriculum.

This is an applied Statistics course which will meet the needs of practitioners in a wide range of science-related disciplines as well as budding statisticians. STAT2000 builds upon the basic techniques taught in the STAT1070 course. Practical data analysis is experienced including how to design appropriate research studies and collect data.

Architecture Studio 1 provides students with a preliminary understanding of architectural design and introduces them to key issues that underpin the social and physical construction of the built environment. The course equips students with fundamental skills that are critical to the practice of architecture and offers an introduction to the architectural studio as a key learning environment in architectural education.
