This practice-based drawing course focuses on developing skills and techniques in botanical drawing, using drawing and watercolor media. Students will be introduced to specialist botanical drawing techniques. Lectures and writing tasks that explore the botanical in historic and contemporary visual art will complement the drawing program. 

This course examines numerical methods and statistics essential in a wide range of engineering disciplines. Numerical methods covers computing with real numbers, numerical differentiation, integration, interpolation and curve fitting (regression analysis), solution of linear and nonlinear algebraic equations, matrix operations and applications to solution of systems of linear equations, elimination and tri-diagonal matrix algorithms, and an introduction to numerical solution of ordinary and partial differential equations. Statistics covers exploratory data analysis, probability and distribution theory including the Binomial, Poisson and Normal distributions, large sample theory including the Central Limit Theorem, elements of statistical inference including estimation, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing, one sample and two-sample t-tests and F-tests, simple and multiple linear regression and analysis of variance and statistical quality control.

Students explore all aspects of choral and ensemble singing, from the purely technical (intonation, breathing, listening, pronunciation, vocal attacks, legato) to the subtleties of developing internal choral relationships and relationships with conductors and where appropriate, instrumentalists.

This course examines communication reference models (TCP/IP and OSI); circuit switched and packet switched communication; network node functions and building blocks; LAN, MAN, WAN, WLAN technologies; protocols fundamental mechanisms; the TCP/IP core protocols (IP, ICMP, DHCP, ARP, TCP, UDP etc. ); applications and protocols (ftP, Telnet, SMTP, HTTP etc. ); network management and security.

This course examines the origins of the environmental crisis and develop alternative models of thinking and acting. It covers key philosophical and ecological concepts (e.g., nature, culture, society, responsibility, biodiversity, sustainability), explores the possibility of an ethics beyond the human, and considers new conceptions of agency, responsibility and multi-species justice.

This course examines the concepts, theories and techniques required to describe dynamic environmental systems and to develop mathematical models to explore their behavior. Systems thinking and modelling approaches are applied to several important environmental systems and processes including chemical and biological transformations in water and air pollution applications, ecological models and population dynamics, global climate change, water balances in lakes and reservoirs, and energy and mass transfer. 

This course examines plant biology, with a focus on Australia's native flora. The course blends theoretical study with practical experience through lab work and field trips to Sydney's regional national parks. Key topics include plant identification, edible botany, plant ecology, and biogeography.

This course examines the institutions and practices of the criminal justice system. As well as considering the operation of various components of the criminal justice system - including the police, courts, and corrections - it will also address new and emerging developments in criminal justice practice, crime prevention, and responses to crime. 

This course examines e city of Melbourne, exploring the natural, cultural and constructed development of this thriving city. A range of disciplinary perspectives will provide students with an awareness of how this city, and the university within it, have evolved to the present day, and what plans there are to sustain them both into the future
