四、热门课程介绍：

l Planet Earth: The Big Picture(ERTH1000): Semester 1 (February start),or semester 2 (July start)

This introductory course is for students intending to specialize in geology, environmental sciences, environmental management, or marine sciences. Through lectures, a practical laboratory class and a part-day field trip you will gain an understanding of the structure and character of the Earth’s core, mantle, and crust, geological materials, plate tectonics, geological hazards, Earth resources, geological time, the fossil record, and human impacts on the environment. You will get a well-rounded overview of modern Earth science through practical examples and activities from areas such as environmental management, civil engineering, atmospheric chemistry, and toxicology.

l Molecular Microbiology(MICR3003): Semester 1 (February start)

Pre-requisite: Year 2 microbiology, biochemistry, chemistry or infectious disease

What are the major component parts of microorganisms and how do they coordinate their functions? How can we introduce new genes into bacterial cells? How do we sequence a bacterial genome and compare it with others? This course introduces you to the molecular methods for answering these fascinating questions. The course consist of up to date lecture material and challenging practical laboratory classes. Practical classes include advanced methods of gene cloning and protein expression and fermentation leading to the production of beer and biofuels. It is expected that you have completed a second level course in microbiology, biochemistry, chemistry or infectious disease so you are familiar with fundamental concepts and can understand relevant scientific jargon and acronyms.

l Food for a Healthy Planet(AGRC1040): Semester 1 (February start)

either campus. Lectures that are held at St Luciawill be live-streamed to Gatton, and vice versa.)

One of the most pertinent challenges of humankind is how tofeed 12 billion people and maintain the integrity and functionof our planet. Have you ever thought about what the foodsyou eat contain and how much energy, water, labour, fertiliser,and pesticides are used in their production, processing, anddistribution? In this course you will evaluate food nutritionallyand environmentally and will try to answer these questions.You will work collaboratively with experts to investigate andresearch current and future foods in local and global contexts, human nutrition and food safety, plant and animal production,environmental sustainability, and food security.

l Environmental Managementin Mining(ENVM3305) : Semester 2 (July start)

As mining activity intensifies globally, so do the impacts ofmining and refining processes. If you are interested in a careerinenvironmental consulting in a mining context then this courseisfor you. Through a combination of lectures, practicals, andtwoone-day field trips you will learn how to identify and mitigatepotential environmental impacts during mining and refiningprocesses; work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary teamto create an environmental management plan; critically assessmanagement plans and suggest improvements; and manageuncertainties. The course has a strong industry focus and useslocal and international case studies to illustrate managementapproaches. This course is suitable for all students and doesnotrequire any prior knowledge of environmental management.

l Urban Geography(GEOG2104) : Semester:Semester 2 (July start)

Pre-requisite:Year 1 geography or urbanizationGain a comprehensive overview of contemporary cities.Beginning with the origins and foundations of cities, this coursewill provide you with a understanding of the spatial structure,location theory, and economic and cultural geographies withincities. Taught from a global perspective, you will exploreexamples from Australia as well as a range of internationalcities. You will be introduced to a range of processes,including urbanisation, suburbanisation, counterurbanisation,industrialisation, deindustrialisation, clustering, agglomeration,and more. This course is suitable for students from allbackgrounds.

l Evolutionary Perspectives onModern Society(BIOL1100): Semester 2 (July start)

This course looks at how evolution has shaped our environment,our bodies, and our behaviours to make us precisely what we aretoday. The battle of the sexes, the obesity epidemic, violence,deception, antibiotic resistance, the issues we see in the newsevery day, all make sense in light of our evolutionary history.In this course, you will be provided with the foundations ofevolutionary concepts that will help you understand why theseissues occur and if, or how, we can solve them. BIOL1100 willchange the way you see the world around you, and give you adeeper understanding of human behaviour, food security andhealth in today’s society. Designed for non-biology studentswhowant to understand more about the origins of human behaviour,health and disease.
