Unit of Competency | BSBDES501A - Implement design solutions |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to take a design concept or solution to the implementation stage.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit applies to individuals who implement concepts and solutions in response to a design challenge in any industry context. It takes BSBDES401A Generate design solutions, to the next stage focusing on the resourcing and testing of a design concept. The outcome of work could be a completed product, object, system or service, but is more likely to be a complete or partial prototype or model for the design.The focus of the unit is on a general knowledge of design techniques and processes, and practical application to a specific design context. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |

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 Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence of the following is essential: critical analysis, testing and development of a model, prototype or aspect of a design solution to meet an identified need knowledge of design trends and technologies in the relevant industry context. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Assessment must ensure: interaction with others to reflect the collaborative nature of the design process access to resources required to test a design solution in a given industry context (e.g. finance, materials, tools, equipment, expertise). |
Method of assessment | A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit: direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate evaluation of a design solution implemented by the candidate against an original brief, set of criteria or guiding objectives evaluation of the processes used to test and refine the solution oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of technical and context issues that impact on design in a given industry context. |
Guidance information for assessment | The design process does not occur in isolation. Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended. Combined assessment with the following unit is appropriate: BSBDES401A Generate design solutions. |

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.
|
Required skills |
communication skills to consult with others on testing and refinement of the design solution creative thinking skills to develop and adapt responses to experimentation and testing processes literacy skills to interpret and develop a wide range of visual and written information sources planning and organisational skills to organise resources and to coordinate a testing process, including liaison and consultation with others during the design process problem-solving skills to respond to unpredictable issues and challenges that arise during the testing process. |
Required knowledge |
copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation that impact on design in the relevant context elements and principles of design and their application in the relevant design context features of the wider industry, economic, social and historical context for the design solution other designs and the work of other design practitioners in the relevant context sources of information that support the development of technical and other knowledge technical knowledge of the area for which design solutions are being implemented - in terms of relevant resources, materials, tools, equipment, techniques and industry processes and procedures. |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Resources will depend on the nature of the design, but may be: | financial: budget allocation grants in kind contributions sponsorship human expertise: creative financial management technical physical: hardware or software materials tools workspaces |
Implementation stage could be the point at which: | marketing can commence production can commence production is confirmed staff can be employed |
Factors that impact on the selection and use of resources may relate to: | environmental considerations industry context social or ethical issues sustainability technologies |
Legislative or organisational requirements may relate to: | commonwealth or state/territory legislation licensing requirements local regulations and standards policies or procedures |
Techniques and processes to test the design solution will depend on the nature of the design, and may include: | colour tests mock ups models practice pieces samples scenario testing stress tests |
Key stakeholders may include: | client employer end user peers supervisor technical experts work colleagues |
Identified needs and other considerations may relate to: | access to and availability of resources aesthetic considerations budgetary constraints ease of manufacture opportunities for innovation specifications of a brief wider industry trends |
Appropriate format may include: | drawings or sketches - manual or computer aided design and drafting (CADD) electronic presentation verbal presentation written notes with rationale or description |
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.
