Introduction to Cybersecurity

Animation and Motion Graphics Design

Data and Analysis

Australia and Cyber Intelligence

Technologies: Digital Solutions

Information Technology Fundamentals

Business Intelligence

Digital Design 1

Game Design Introduction

Scientific Computing

In this subject, you will be introduced to mathematical and statistical methods for analysing scientific, business or technical data to inform and support decision-making. You will explore why data is needed and how it is used to make decisions, including how data are collected, analysed, interpreted and presented, and you will learn and apply a suite of common statistical and mathematical methods to generate evidence for decision-making.You will also be introduced to data management software and learn how to represent and communicate mathematical and statistical information effectively. Through data sets relevant to your discipline, you will learn how to problem solve, generate evidence, and present solutions using data handling and statistical approaches.

This subject introduces you to industry approaches taken in threat intelligence and assessment. The subject will be task-focused and will allow you to explore the threat intelligence process with a focus on three key areas: understanding industry threat landscapes; legal and ethical considerations for penetration testing; and understanding and assessing penetration testing processes within industry contexts.

Cyber Threat Intelligence

The subject provides an introduction to many AI sub-fields, including: expert systems, machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, intelligent agents. Students will be exposed to state-of-the-art examples as well as emerging technologies and get practical experience of solving interesting problems in each of these sub-fields. The subject covers the definition of Artificial Intelligence and its subfields; introduces foundational logic and knowledge representation; and considers social, ethical, and philosophical consequences of the theory and practice of AI. Students will learn different perspectives on the approach to creating AI, its purpose, and its validity. The subject will highlight the increasingly important social and economic roles of AI and will feature guest lectures from research and/or industry experts to highlight current research directions and deepen students&#39; understanding of specific topics.

Artificial Intelligence

This subject introduces students to fundamentals of distributed networked environments, primarily focusing on wired networks but students will examine some of the different approaches in wireless networks. It provides knowledge of internetworking standards and understanding of the networking architecture, technology and operation.This subject will provide students with an understanding of: OSI model framework; TCP/IP, common internet risks and requirements; operation of encryption techniques; digital signatures; public key infrastructure; authentication and non-repudiation. Additionally, students will be required to analyse and assess recent developments in ICT security technologies related to networking. Completing this subject will provide you with the background knowledge and practical experience to go on to obtain micro credentials in the Cisco CCNA 1 “Introduction to Networks” Course, which is the first of three modules in the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) industry certification.

Data Networks and Security

In this subject, you will learn the core principles of sensors and sensor networks, investigating how these technologies are generating revolutionary scale change across many industries. You will acquire practical skills via simulation based learning for sensor deployment, sensor technology solutions aligned with industrial objectives, and sensor networks capable of transferring real-time data to external systems. Students will obtain the knowledge and skills needed to fulfil industry standards and solve authentic challenges in sensor network design through case studies and simulation based activities. You will develop self-awareness, initiative, and judgement while developing know how of Industry 4.0 and its potential to enhance decision making with near real time data, and drive efficiencies and innovation in industries at any scale.

Sensors and Sensor Networks

This subject will familiarise you with the fundamental concepts of database design and implementation techniques to define, construct and query a database. In this subject you will develop basic skills in data modelling using relational data models and normalisation to ensure data integrity. You will learn how to transform a data model into a relational database design as well as effectively mine data using the structured query language (SQL). You will explore a range of data visualisation techniques to be able to address organisation information requests. Essential requirements for secure data management to ensure data privacy and other legal responsibilities will also be covered including data mining, data lakes, and data warehousing.

Database Fundamentals

Data Handling and Statistics 1 is the first of three applied statistics subjects offered by the School of Natural Sciences (Mathematics). Statistics is the science of decision making, and as such forms a key foundation of any scientific research. This subject develops skills in statistical analysis and project design. Data Handling and Statistics 1 is an applied subject that develops conceptual understanding of the foundations of modern Statistics together with practical skills in data analysis. This is a hands-on subject that provides experience with the common techniques of descriptive and inferential statistics.

Data Handling and Statistics 1

This subject will provide you with the basic skills and concepts of Industry 4.0 technologies and their applications across any advanced manufacturing industry, from large-scale industrial operations, small businesses and the emerging sole traders in niche design industries. The subject focuses on practical applications, employing simulation tools to develop skills in electrical circuit analysis and digital control system design. You will explore the complexities of electrical circuits, covering fundamental concepts such as voltage, current, and impedance, and explore advanced topics like operational amplifiers, sensors, and actuators. The digital control systems component introduces the practical applications of digital control systems across industries, encompassing both hardware and software aspects. Through case studies and simulated real-world environments, you will gain insights into real-time measurement, open and closed-loop control, and contemporary technology.

Electrical and Digital Control Systems

In this subject, you will learn about the procedural nature of cyber security. You will analyse the effectiveness of threat and vulnerability mitigation through use of contemporary cyber security frameworks. You will be explore mitigation strategies, operational controls, and countermeasures needed to address various threats and vulnerabilities from both technical and organisational perspectives. Upon completion of this subject, you will be able to apply your cyber security knowledge to communicate, support, and design improvements to business and personal cyber security posture (i.e. cyber security strength and readiness).

Defensive Cyber Security Procedures

This subject introduces students to the technologies that make up the fabric of the web—HTML, CSS and JavaScript—as well as standard web models and practices, key web design and usability principles, common security issues and mitigation strategies, and data-driven backend development with PHP and SQL. The subject assumes a sound basic knowledge of programming and database skills as developed in the introductory subjects in these areas. Working in small teams you will develop an interactive web application, focusing first on the frontend technologies that define the user interface before creating a database-driven backend solution to make the application interactive. Alongside this you will develop your individual skills, compiling a portfolio of web technology demonstrations. The subject serves as an important foundation for further study in web development, including the use of server- and client-side frameworks.
