Curtin University Courses

The explosion of embedded and connected smart devices, systems and technologies in our lives has created an opportunity to connect every 'thing' to the Internet.

Students will conduct an independent research project in the discipline(s) of environmental and marine science under the guidance of an academic supervisor, resulting in the preparation, submission, presentation and defense of a dissertation.

This specialisation is appropriate for students with an existing chemistry background and interest. It covers major chemical extraction processes and how ore characteristics govern process selection and operation.

The Power Systems Engineering extension specialisation is aimed to provide students with the essential knowledge in power systems. The specialisation is designed to reflect classical and emerging topics in power systems through contemporary pedagogical and active learning approaches.

This major is part of a larger course (Bachelor of Advanced Science). This information is specific to the major, please refer to the course for more information.

This double degree major has been designed for those who seek careers in both the public and private sector. Students will acquire sound analytical skills which are highly valued in careers in the business world.

This specialisation would suit chemical engineering students who are interested in the design, commercialisation, and use of processes and products that minimise pollution, promote sustainability, manage CO2 emissions, and protect human health and environment without sacrificing economic viability...

The Earth and Planetary Sciences Honours Major (BSc) (Honours) enables students to extend knowledge of current academic research methodology as it is applied in the field of Earth and Planetary Sciences and related fields, and to demonstrate this through undertaking a supervised research project...

This extension specialisation is suitable for chemical engineering students who wish to gain insights into the field of energy engineering with a broad understanding of the various challenges and appropriate pathways for managing industry's transition to renewable energy sources.

Our world is characterised by the ever-increasing number of digital systems and intelligent sensors which have inbuilt or 'embedded' computers. Embedded systems are computers with specialised input/output devices that may or may not be programmed by the end user.

Computer programming, advanced mathematics and core physics prepares you for project work in a vast array of Theoretical Physics areas including; anti-matter-matter studies, plasma processing, fusion research and medical therapy.

The Resource Operations Analytics major involves using data analytics and disruptive technologies in the resource (oil and gas and mining) industries, how we can use predictive analytics to forecast operational engineering problems that may arise, and how best to manage them.
