Critical thinking and ethical decision making are essential skills for academic research and career success. This unit is designed to develop students’ critical thinking and business decision making skills. Students will learn the features of good arguments and the methods of formulating good arguments through critical reading and analytical writing. Students will also develop the ability of making decisions in accordance with organisational strategies, ethical principles and social responsibilities.

Auditing provides reasonable assurance to third party users of financial statements regarding the financial position of a company. This unit aims to provide students with an understanding of internal and external auditing practices. Students will examine the legal and ethical obligations of an auditor in forensic accounting and detection of fraud and error under auditing standards. They will also be able to identify and align regulatory frameworks and auditing standards while performing auditing practices using quantitative methods.

This unit introduces students to the introductory concepts and theories of business finance. Students will be able to define a range of finance terminologies and apply their mathematical skills to solve simple financial problems. By the completion of the unit, students are expected to have a general understanding of the Australian and international financial markets, the role of organisational treasuries, and how to deploy and raise capital, and make investment choices.

This unit provides students with a comprehensive introduction to computer networks by introducing basic networking technologies, Ethernet fundamentals, ISO OSI model and networking protocols including TCP/IP. It also introduces important networking components including switches and routers and explores routing, switching, and the internet architecture.

This unit introduces the techniques, tools and models for developing information systems. It aims to develop analytical skills for Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) including systems requirements analysis, problem identification, feasibility analysis, data modelling, use case analysis and design models. Unified Modelling Language (UML) is explored and different analysis and design techniques are examined such as structured and object-oriented design methods and tools. Project management techniques and tools for information systems are also studied.

This unit introduces fundamental concepts and principles of effective management, organization, manipulation and use of data. Students will learn how to design a database using a set of business rules and applying data modelling techniques such as ER (EntityRelationship) modelling and relational database design. Students will also learn how to query databases using SQL (Standard Query Language). Other database concepts will also be examined such as database administration, concurrency, data integration, data warehousing, backup & recovery, security and distributed databases.

This unit introduces students to both conceptual understanding and technologies that are relevant to  the World Wide Web (WWW). The unit's focus is on learning the key concepts, the basic knowledge and skills needed to develop satisfying Web sites. Students will explore a range of techniques and technologies, including code design and fundamentals of visual design.

The unit provides an understanding of what it means to be an IT professional and what is expected from an IT professional in an organisation and in the society as a whole. It provides students with an overview of the requirements and skills for responsible and ethical practice in IT profession as well as opportunities for developing and applying effective communications and management skills.

This unit introduces students to the basic skills of programming, algorithm development and problem-solving with no assumed programming knowledge and/or experience. It provides an extensive theoretical and practical foundation for understanding the basic concepts in objectoriented programming (OOP) techniques. Students will be exposed to the various topics of object-oriented programming, design, variables, statements, arrays and algorithms in sorting and searching. The unit covers a design process using multiple design strategies and demonstrates how to build a readable and reusable solution.

This unit is one of two core capstone project units. In this first project unit, students will work together in teams to initiate, plan and begin the execution of an IT project, to be completed in MIT652 Capstone Project 2. Its aim is to give students the opportunity to apply and extend the knowledge and skills gained in the course to date to a substantial IT project. You will have the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills required for careful planning, scope control and task management to ensure the success of a real-world project. Working in a team of 3-4 members, you will undertake critical tasks required in the early stages of a project, such as: initial concept development and feasibility analysis, requirements gathering and analysis, design and project planning. These activities will result in the delivery of an initial version of the project deliverables such as a proposal, a design document, a literature review, a software prototype, and an execution plan for further development in MIT652 (Capstone Project 2).

This unit covers the fundamentals of data analytics. It aims to develop foundation skills and knowledge required for data driven, evidence-based approaches to decision making and performance analysis. Topics include data collection, preprocessing and transformation, visualization and exploratory analysis, and the mathematical and statistical foundations for data modeling. These will help students develop the understanding they will need to make informed decisions using data analysis and communicate the results effectively. The programming language used is Python which is an excellent environment for building many kinds of analytical applications.

This unit is aimed at introducing students to the subject of computer programming and enabling them to develop computer programs for problem solving at a basic level. The focus of the unit is to provide students with a robust understanding of the basic principles of programming and algorithmic thinking. Students will be able to reinterpret a general problem into a computer problem and use their understanding of the computer model to develop source code. The unit will discuss topics necessary for the students to be able to write, debug, and execute computer code to solve logical problems. Crucial concepts include defining data types, control flow, iteration, functions, and recursion. The teaching materials are designed to provide technical and theoretical knowledge that serve as a foundation for continued learning of presented areas.

In this unit students will study the interface between people behaviour and the organisation with the goal of improving and achieving organisational desire performance. The unit is designed to help students in exploring and gaining a knowledge of concepts and theories relating to group and individual behaviour and attitudes at organizational level. The unit looks at issues such as culture, personality, perception, motivation, group structure, teamworking, work design, organizational design, leadership, decision making, power and politics. Students gain a better appreciation of people related workplace issues and problems for managing people in contemporary organization.

This unit introduces data communication fundamentals, network transmission technologies, network protocols and design frameworks. It introduces students to basic design and communicational issues related to local area networks, wide area networks. Content includes communication media types; data communications principles and protocols; network architectures and protocols, standard interfaces, transmission techniques; data integrity and security; Local Area Networks (LAN); data link control; IP Addressing and Sub-networking; Routing protocols like OSPF; Switching technologies; Design and implementation of enterprise networks using industry standard equipment like CISCO routers and switches.
