Federation University Australia – Program Handbook
Introduction
Welcome to Federation University and, more particularly, the School of Science, Information Technology & Engineering. We hope you enjoy your time studying with us.
This handbook is produced to assist students enrolled in our programs; and is as up to date as we can make it at the time of printing. It should be read in conjunction with the most recent Federation University Handbook, which contains official University regulations pertaining to programs offered by the University. Complete University regulations can also be found at the web address www.federation.edu.au/vco/legal/legislation/.
Guidelines which you should follow when doing assignments and other assessable tasks can be found in Federation University booklet 'General Guide for the presentation of Academic work'.
I hope this handbook is of assistance to you as you move through the successive stages of your program. If you have any queries, at any stage of your program, please do not hesitate to contact your course or program coordinator.
I wish you success with your studies.
Professor John Yearwood

contains a major study in computing. In general, “good record” means an average of D (distinction) or better. A
student who wishes to enter the program but who does not completely fulfil these requirements, may present a
case in writing to the Honours Co-ordinator, at whose discretion they may be admitted to the program. A student
may be admitted to the program only upon completion of a Bachelor degree.
A student may commence at the beginning of Semester 1 or Semester 2.

and techniques. The main focus will be on applying the techniques previously
encountered in optimisation theory to model and solve current advanced and complex
real world problems. The student will be given a variety of real life examples of advanced
optimisation problems. The solution of these problems will require the use of advanced
modern techniques in nonlinear programming with a focus on nonsmooth optimisation.
The material covered in this course is widely applicable in business, industry, the study of
the economy and in the military; and along with other units in operations research should
give students enhanced employability.
Topics covered in this course may include: completeness of the real numbers; Cauchy
sequences and their role in numerical algorithms; open, closed, and compact sets of real
numbers; continuous functions, uniform continuity, differentiability; pointwise and uniform
convergence for sequences of functions; a careful elucidation of the concept of integral
for functions of one variable and fundamental convergence theorems.

This course will cover the major land and water contaminants in mining, industrial and
urban settings. We will focus on local examples, but the skills gained will be applicable in
many environments. Through the course you will gain an understanding of the relevant
legislation, the process of assessment and analysis, the interpretation of results and
examples of remediation methods. This is a practical, hands-on course, relevant to
Environmental Management and Geology students alike.
The role of fire in the ecology of biodiversity and landscapes, particularly from an
Australian perspective, is explored. Reflection on the history of fire is used to develop an
understanding of the impact of fire on Australian society. The theories and understanding
that underpin approaches to fire planning and management that achieve ecological and
social outcomes are considered in detail.
