Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to program IoT (Internet of Things) devices and networks, including developing, programming and testing devices against predetermined specifications.

It applies to those in roles including software developers, programmers or network engineers, working as embedded systems engineers, IoT developers or senior software developers, and who have basic knowledge of electrical engineering.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including evidence of the ability to:

research, select and program at least one IoT device for at least two different environmental conditions.

In the course of the above, the candidate must:

test IoT device function and environmental variables

document programming processes and outcomes.

The candidate must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including knowledge of:

language used to program IoT devices

laboratory tools including:

power supply

silla scope

spectrum analyser

signal generator

schematic drawing documentation and reading tools

principles of electricity, energy and electricity usage, as they relate to IoT devices

principles and functions of sensors and wireless communication

uses and features of microcontroller programming, microprocessors and microcontrollers

basic principles of soldering and manufacturing processes and related electrical circuits

basic mathematical equations, algebra, signal processing and statistics concepts and procedures

operational procedures and safety checks for using power usage instruments

different environments, contexts and its impact where IoT devices are used

readings and standards of workplace electrical equipment range

testing and troubleshooting methodologies and techniques.

Skills in this unit must be demonstrated in a workplace or simulated environment where the conditions are typical of those in a working environment in this industry.

This includes access to:

tools, equipment, materials, hardware required to program IoT devices

microcontroller and required text editor software

technical and manufacturer documentation

environment with different factors applicable for IoT use.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
