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.

The course will examine practical technologies such as JSP and Servlets, the model-view-controller (MVC) architecture, database programming with ADO. NET and JDBC, advanced persistence using ORM, XML for interoperability, and XML-based SOAP services and Ajax, in support of the theoretical themes identified.
