Biology is the study of living things. But what is "living"? Cells areconsidered the basic structural unit of life, existing in diverseforms from simple single-celled microbes to complexmulticellular organisms such as plants and animals. Usingcollaborative approaches in workshops and the laboratory youwill investigate the diverse nature of cells and consider how theyare built and powered and how they interact and reproduce. Youwill use the concepts developed in this unit to discuss morecomplex questions such as "are viruses alive" and "can we

synthesise life"?View unit details online| View unit timetable

Credit Points 12


Engineers work with numerous kinds of systems whereconsideration must be given to the energy within the system.This unit introduces the student to the concepts of energy in thecontext of real engineering systems. The inter-relationships ofbetween forces, motion and energy (in systems composed ofliquids, solids or gases) is described as related to the flow ofenergy within these engineering systems. After an introduction toengineering units, concepts and data, Newton's first and secondlaws are used in the description of system motion and theconcepts of force and energy, conservation of momentum and

conservation of energy are introduced and described.Thermodynamic processes, certain thermo-physical parameters

knowledge for this unit, is extended with you investigating non-square linear systems of equations and the Eigenvalue problem.Differential equations, also assumed knowledge for the unit, areinvestigated in more detail including exposure to second orderequations. This unit builds fundamental skills for you to transitionto second year units and the Majors of the Bachelor ofMathematics, including applications of interest in each majorarea of study.


MXB107 Statistical Models for Data:Relationships and EffectsCredit Points 12


Describing and understanding relationships in data is importantin both scientific exploration and understanding. Building onmethodology from prior studies in probability and stochasticmodelling, this unit focuses on the statistical modelling of datawith an emphasis on relationships and effects for purposes ofstatistical inference, prediction and validation. Attention is also

given to the challenges that analysing real-world datasets posewith alternative statistical techniques which yield the validinference. This unit provides an introduction to some of theadvanced material covered in the latter parts of the StatisticalScience major.View unit details online| View unit timetable

MXB161 Computational ExplorationsCredit Points 12


This unit provides you with a practical understanding ofcomputer-based solutions to scientific problems from a widerange of interdisciplinary application areas. You will have the

opportunity to develop computing and visualisation skills andapply these to solve real problems involving topics such asimage and sound processing, fractals and random walksimulations. These skills are developed further in latersemesters, where there are opportunities to study MXB262(Visualising Data), MXB362 (Advanced Visualisation and DataScience), and MXB261 (Modelling and Simulation Science).View unit details online| View unit timetable

MZB125 Introductory Engineering MathematicsEquivalents MAB125, MAB100, MAB120, MXB100

Credit Points 12


This unit introduces to you the foundational mathematicalconcepts of function, matrix and vector algebra, together with theoperations of differentiation and integration. Through theexploration and solution of contextualised problems you willdevelop an understanding of these mathematical concepts aswell as competency in appropriate solution methods.View unit details online| View unit timetable

MZB126 Engineering ComputationCredit Points 12


The rational solution of real-world engineering problems often

requires the combination of multiple skill sets across multiple

AvailabilitiesKelvin Grove - SEM-1

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, images andcultures, have been represented in a variety of media sincecolonisation. The purpose of this unit is to deconstruct theserepresentations from Indigenous standpoints.

OUB130 Indigenous Knowledge: Research Ethics

and ProtocolsAnti-requisites EDB040

Credit Points 12

AvailabilitiesKelvin Grove - SEM-2

This unit critically analyses and articulates culturally saferesearch that reflects de-colonising methodologies as anunderpinning framework for Indigenous Australian research. Theneed for culturally safe research is supported by the obviousgaps in knowledge of the ongoing life differentials and socialdeterminants that impact on Indigenous Australians. This in partis due to a profound lack of culturally safe research which haseffectively neglected historical and Indigenous knowledges that

can address the outstanding social determinants influencingIndigenous Australians and their communities.View unit details online| View unit timetable

PVB101 Physics of the Very LargeAnti-requisites PCB150

Credit Points 12


This unit introduces you to the physics that affects the universeon a large scale, stretching from the edge of the observableuniverse down to the Earths atmosphere, and addresses theunderlying physics of some of the big questions of our time, forexample dark energy and global warming. The topics presented

include gravity, special relativity, thermodynamics, and fluidmechanics and form a foundation for a degree in physics.Theory will be complemented by practical exercises.View unit details online| View unit timetable

PVB102 Physics of the Very SmallCredit Points 12
