Members will note that the above majors were considered by the Curriculum Committee on 10 June 2020. At that meeting members queried the uniqueness of the above majors if offered in the existing Bachelor of Science course. In turn, it was agreed that in the first instance the above majors would only be offered in their respective double packaged course. Additionally further analysis would be undertaken by the central curriculum team to determine which of the above majors met the uniqueness criterion and so could be offered in both the Bachelor of Science and the double packaged award courses. Members will note that with the introduction of the above majors, the current active majors in Chemistry, Marine Science and Natural Resource Management will be rescinded. Additionally as requested and in order to facilitate discussion further analysis has been undertaken. The analysis has shown that the above majors utilise core units from a number of other active/proposed majors. Additional detailed information pertaining to this is provided on the website. For discussion, endorsement and referral to the Academic Board/ Academic Council.

Prof. Thomas Braunland Prof. Dilusha Silva
Recommended including ENSC3020 in the major, whichProf Braunl coordinates. The engineers alsorecommended Java programming as apossibleprogramming language, instead of Python. I have donefurther investigations -see consultation with Dr MatthewWyatt below - decided to focus on Python.
Included ENSC3020. Note prerequisites werenot required to successfully complete thisunit - as advised by Prof Braunl.
School ofEngineering
Prof. Dilusha Silva andDr. Andrew Guzzomi
Had discussions with Prof Silva and Dr Guzzomi reagricultural engineering and the possibility ofAgricultural Technology major students taking amasters in Agricultural Engineering (which is still underdiscussion). Dr Silva also alerted me to the possible newfirst years unit (possibly in 2022) in mechatronics, whichmay be useful for Agricultural technology majorstudents.
Keep watch for development of mechatronicsfirst year unit - otherwise no change.
School ofComputerScience andSoftwareEngineering
Assoc. Prof. RachelCardell-Oliver and Prof.Amitava Datta
Recommended python programming, machine learningand a data science unit.
Included python programming CITS1401(Python programming) as a key unit. Also onProf Datta's advice, included CITS2402 (introto data science) and dropped CITS2401(computer visualisation). Prof Datta alsorecommended a machine learning unit e.g.CITS5508, but this is not available toundergraduates. However, CITS2402 hassome introductory information on machinelearning and the more machine learning willbe introduced in the new proposed unit(specifically for this major) AGRI3XXXDecisions from Agricultural Data.
AIMS (Aust. Inst.of MarineScience) at UWA
Dr Matthew Wyatt Have strong recommendation from Dr Wyatt "From mypersonal experience in the Java vs Python debate(having developed with both), I'd definitely say Pythonis the goto language for data scientists. Java is a heavilyused language, but more for corporate systems - yourmore traditional developer roles.
Every decent machine learning library has pythonwrappers, and most GIS & remote sensing applicationshave Python API's. It is also a very easy language forpeople to pick up, with a lot of growth thanks to therecent explosion of machine learning."
Settled on Python programming unit.

Additional Information
Additionalinformation(detailed proposal)
Consulted with agricultural machinery (industry) representative John Henchy, who gave strong endorsement of thisinitiative. He was keen to be kept informed if it is approved.
Also consulted with Ben White (not UWA Ben White), an industry agricultural engineer, specializing in agriculturaltechnology. He is part of the Kondinin Group, who evaluate many agricultural technology innovations. He had strongendorsement of the proposed Agricultural Technology major. Mr White highlighted a critical deficiency/issue at the momentis people in the "agtech" sector have either data skills or agricultural skills, but not both. The proposed Agriculturaltechnology major will cover both these areas.

Details
About this major Chemistry describes the structure and properties of matter and its transformations. It is an enabling science that is centralto virtually all areas of modern science and technology, especially multi-disciplinary areas such as molecular genetics,molecular biology, biochemistry, nanotechnology, medicinal chemistry, drug design and development, and green(environmentally sustainable) chemistry.
The Chemistry double major will provide students with the specialist and general skills they will need to build secure,satisfying and productive careers. In addition to a solid training in chemical principles, chemistry graduates will acquire arange of generic skills: they will write clearly and succinctly on technical topics and be able to condense complex scientificinformation into simpler forms; they will have excellent numeracy and will be highly computer literate, and they will alsohave sophisticated problem solving and research skills. Chemistry is often called the central science because so manyscientists study chemistry at some level. The Chemistry double major will combine all aspects of the single majors inchemistry and therefore include synthetic chemistry and physical and analytical chemistry. A double major in chemistry will(via Honours or Masters programs) also feed into the strong and active postgraduate research program in chemistry at UWA.

Why non-standardstructure
This is an interdisciplinary double major and as such the combination of Chemistry and Geology requires core units at Levels1, 2 and 3 to ensure that students develop sound skills in these disciplines and create the pathways through Level 3 andinto Honours, CW Masters and PhD study. This double major necessitates a variation from the rules such that the 18 coreand complementary units are 16 core + 2 complementary. To offer less than the core requirements of the single majorswould leave these students without core competencies and cut off their pathways especially into Honours (as pathway toPhD and graduate employment) and Masters (e.g. Master of Geoscience) which is profoundly undesirable from employabilityand career progression perspectives.
This non-standard structure is consistent with the changes to the UG courses policy proposed on the Agenda of the 15 MayExtraordinary Meeting of the Academic Board
Major type
Type of major Double
Why double major? This double major is based on a combination of the single majors in Chemistry and Geology with programming and datascience units. Geochemistry is an important discipline in its own right through the application of chemistry to solving earthscience problems. It is especially important in resource exploration and as such is widely use in Western Australia's mineralsindustry for example. This double major would prepare students for employment in the resources industries where the useof large and/or complex geochemical data sets is increasing rapidly with the use of new, sophisticated technology.

Details
About this major Geochemistry is the application of chemistry to understanding Earth's systems and processes. It is very broad in its scope,extending to the deep Earth, its continents and oceans, as well as to the atmosphere and biosphere through time.Exploration of other planets also focuses on geochemical characterisation of materials to understand planetary evolution.Geochemistry is also widely applied to exploration for a wide range of resources, especially in Western Australia. This majorfocuses on enabling students to gain critical skills in earth science and chemistry to take advantage of employmentopportunities arising from technological advances. It will also enable students to learn how to gather and apply geochemicaldata to environmental and mineral exploration and production contexts in an increasingly digital world.

Details
About this major Coastlines globally face unprecedented threats from continued development and climate change. Majoring in Marine andCoastal Processes will provide you with the understanding of how our coastal and marine environments operate such thatyou can apply this knowledge to ensure coastal communities and marine ecosystems remain resilient in the future. WesternAustralia's coastal and nearshore seascape includes a diversity of morphology, habitats, and environmental forcing whichwill allow you to gain first-hand experience in the field. You'll learn about the processes that drive coastal changes, theimportance of ocean currents in determining our sea level and climate, the links and feedbacks between physical andbiological processes, and about strategies to manage the coast as a resource for all. During the course of your studies youwill gain practical experience through hands-on laboratory-based exercises, field trips (several of which are overnight) andcomputer based labs.

During the first year students areintroduced basic principles of biologyand earth systems with marineexamples. They are encouraged tothink analytically and critically anddiscuss ideas with their peers usingreal world examples.
Students start to be exposed to specificknowledge relevant for the discipline suchas coastal processes and large scale oceancirculation. Students learn respective skillsto generatenecessary data to scientifically assess andsubsequently discuss issues and solutionsrelevant for a sustainable environment.They will be further introduced toquantitative methods helpful to managemarine problems.
Students deepen their cognatebackground in a number of 3rd year units, knowledge offundamental oceanography, conservation and management byintegrating knowledge of the physical and biologicalenvironment. This culminates in a residential field coursewhere knowledge and skills are applied to real life problems.Units work to develop a more holistic appreciation of marinescience.
EducationalPrinciple 2: developthe skills requiredto learn from avariety of sourcesand experiences
Level 1: Beginning Level 2: Developing Level 3: Advanced
Faculty wide SCIE unitsare designed to train students specifically in learning strategies.Other first year units provide opportunities for students to observeand describe data from the literature and discuss analytically.Observation and note taking are encouraged skills in all units.Students will also learn the fundamentals of computer programming.
In level 2 students apply critical appraisal ofliterature provided in units by writing short reportsand essays. They are introduced specific methodsgenerating essential data and compare it withexamples from the literature.
Level 3 units intensifyliterature work vialarger reportassessments whichincludeliterature reviews andintense datadiscussions. Capstoneunits will allowstudents to extend thisapproach into a globalcontext.
EducationalPrinciple 3: developpersonal, social andethical awareness inan internationalcontext
Level 1: Beginning Level 2: Developing Level 3: Advanced
First year students are introduced to the two mainchallenges of climate change and biodiversity loss andare given both global and local examples of collaborateattempts to address these problems. Students areprovided with opportunity to understand how differentenvironmental solutions can be applied in differentcircumstances. From early on students work in smallteams to generate solutions for given tasks in certainunits.
Year 2 units provide continuedpossibilities for team work experienceand leadership performance during fieldand laboratory classes usually usingsmall groups for data generation. Peerassessment and writing data reportsduring classes are essential skills inmaturing academically.
During year 3 students are continuouslyexposed to discuss generated data, debate onrelevant and often current marine environmentalissues. Extended reports of field work andlaboratory focused classes help to shape astudent's ability discuss findings similar to reportwritings in the corporate world. Capstone unitsfoster teamwork and leadership skills.

EducationalPrinciple 4:communicateclearly, effectivelyand appropriately ina range of contexts
Level 1: Beginning Level 2: Developing Level 3: Advanced
SCIE1104 and EART1105have embedded activitiesdesigned to help studentscommunicate certain topicseffectively both orally and written.Other units use short writtenessays to practiceEnglish writing skills. Interactionsvia peer assessments anddiscussions with other studentsand the teaching personnel furtherhelp developing communicationskills.
Students are required to demonstrate theirdeveloping ability to communicate in written andverbal forms via a range of classroom and onlinecontexts including written assessments andpresentations. This includes giving oralpresentations to their peers, writing scientificreports and developing on-line information page.
During year 3 students demonstrate their advanced abilitiesto express and debate ideas as well as analytically discussdata, principles and knowledge to their peers. In the capstoneunits, students are required to continually discuss and debatetheir ideas before combining them into a written proposal forthe research. The results of the research are presented inoral and written reports and short videos and posters areprepared for the general public.
