Year Two Single honours and Diploma of Higher Education, Science students select four courses from the six listed below. Physical and Health Science take Medical Physics and Health Science plus three others from Energy , Pollution Science , Control Systems and Environmental Monitoring and Ecological Change . Control Systems which will focus on the role of positive and negative feedback in physical and biological systems. The course examines areas of electronics which prescribe fundamental principles in the control of change in systems. Such principles are extended into the area of the control of life processes.
Extensive use is made of microcomputers and data logging equipment in laboratory experiments.
Energy is a fundamental concept in the sciences. This course aims to develop the student's understanding of the concept of energy in physical and biological systems. In this way the theme of energy will be seen as unifying all the various aspects of science. Medical Physics and Health Science .
