- Semester 2 (July)
Unit synopsis
This introductory unit develops your understanding and skills in creating acting performances that dynamically engage with live audiences, requiring you to investigate ways of combining physical and vocal embodiment with genre-appropriate, audience-focused staging conventions. Your enquiry includes exploring how realism and theatricality can be combined to intensify the impact on the audience of dramatic meaning, social commentary and visual storytelling. This enquiry will be informed by engagement with a range of play texts and theoretical perspectives relating to acting issues associated with this form of theatre and its political, social and cultural contexts. The unit challenges you to apply your developing acting, voice, imaginative and embodiment skills and techniques, to the demands associated with performing dynamic roles from complex source material of different genres and cultural contexts.

- Availability
- Semester 1 (February) and Semester 2 (July)
Unit synopsis
This unit introduces you to the components inside a computer and how these components work together. The design and development of modern digital electronic systems requires a knowledge of the hardware and software to program the system. This unit identifies design requirements and lets you develop embedded microcontroller-based system solutions. Practical laboratory exercises progressively expose features of a typical microprocessor and explain how an embedded computer can interact with its environment. This provides a valuable foundation for further studies in areas such as advanced embedded systems, robotics and networking, and reflects the real-world practices and skills demanded by the embedded systems and automation industries.
