This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to select and use resin system/reinforcing combinations for a composite product. It includes the science of reinforcing, and core and resin interactions. It also includes basic design of a composite component/product but does not include structural design.

This unit builds on the units covering the selection and use of reinforcing and resins and in particular covers the interactions between resins and reinforcement.

Flow of fluid in porous media is described by Darcy’s Law and this will need to the applied in this unit.

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

Band: A

Unit Weight: 6

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

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Most appropriate combination includes the following:	compliance with product requirements greatest ease of manufacture best financial return greatest sustainability contribution
Requirements of core include the following:	stiffness/flexibility directionality density operating temperature provision of thickness provision of some rigidity thermal and acoustic insulation where appropriate but not the significant structural strength provided by reinforcing
Requirements of resin system include the following:	strength flexibility/rigidity surface finish and colour chemical/ultraviolet (UV)/environmental resistance operating temperature recyclability
Resin system adjustments include one (1) or more of the following:	temperature humidity required cure time Adjustments may only be made within the allowable limits of the system being used
Areas for improvement include one (1) or more of the following:	cost/benefit of different combinations selecting a combination suited to the fabrication process maximising sustainability
Sustainability includes the following:	survival of the ecology/physical environment economic viability social sustainability

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
