Matthew Flinders at AllExperts (1407 words) |
 | Flinders set sail for England aboard The Porpoise to secure another vessel from the British Government with which to complete his survey, but was shipwrecked on the Great Barrier Reef. |
| Flinders next attempted to return to England aboard The Cumberland, but the poor condition of the schooner forced it to put in at Mauritius for repairs on 17 December. |
| Flinders was not the first to use the word "Australia" (see the Australia article on that). |
| Flinders University (725 words) |
| The challenge for Flinders University was to equip both engineering students and research staff with advanced electronic design software that is easy to learn and intuitive to operate, yet able to meet the university’s budget constraints and customer support requirements. |
| Flinders University was established in 1966 and offers more than 160 undergraduate and postgraduate courses, with many using new information and communication technologies to supplement face-to-face teaching and provide flexible options. |
| Flinders’ School of Informatics and Engineering, a division of the university’s Faculty of Science and Engineering, is a multi-disciplinary school focused on best-practice teaching and research in the areas of computer-based resolution of information problems and electronic systems engineering. |
