WHS requirements:
WHS Act and regulation, which recognise that stakeholders in workplace activities include the workforce exposed to worksite conditions, materials and processes of the activity and also recognise the broader community exposed to environmental effects of the activity. Competence in designing for and implementation of the Act, regulations, codes, directives, risk management and standards is required by other units
relevant standards that give guidance to complying with the WHS Act
codes of practice, risk assessment and registration requirements
requirement for licensed technical and professional services
modelling compared to traditional methods, such as:
pen and pencil graphics compared to wire frame, surface and solid models
computer animations compared to transparent overlay mobiles to test clearances and motions
solid models compared to isometric representations
computer library files compared to the use of reference charts and catalogue information
future developments in modelling and related engineering software:
new developments in computer aided engineering
dynamic response of models
new developments in rapid prototyping and manufacturing
animations and simulations.
This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is, the candidate is not in productive work, then a simulated working environment must be used that reflects realistic workplace situations and conditions.
The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team.
Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.
Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.
Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate competently and consistently:
review features, functions and context of avionic modelling
compare available software, functions and features
communicate, participate and negotiate with stakeholders, team, cross-function support groups and experts, appropriate licensed technicians and professionals
model using a comprehensive range of techniques
create dimensioned orthographic projections from model
extract dimensional properties from model
post-process model for analysis or physical modelling
complete work, commission and gain approval, document and report, and obtain sign-off
identify future developments in modelling.
Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency where required.
Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors).
