Undergraduate
Description
In this subject, students are introduced to the fundamental principles of biomechanics that govern human movement. Students explore the mechanisms behind human and object motion, guided by the principles of physics. Through practical activities including problem-solving exercises, physical demonstrations, and basic data collection tasks, students develop the ability to both qualitatively and quantitatively describe human motion. They learn to interpret numerical and graphical data, drawing meaningful conclusions applicable to real-world scenarios.
Typical availability
Autumn session, Moore Park precinct
