Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to apply advanced mathematics to appropriate engineering post-trade situations within the individual’s area of work. It applies to the use of trigonometry, the sine and cosine rules, work-related formulae, geometric principles relevant to the workplace and the calculation of areas and volumes of common engineering shapes.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: BUnit Weight: 4
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Submission Requirements

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

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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.

Calculations are performed using one (1) or more of the following:

pen and paper

a calculator

tables

tablets

computers

Calculations include establishing solutions associated with one (1) or more of the following:

angles

lengths

areas

perimeters

volumes

Calculation methods include the following:

trigonometry:

basic functions

sine rule

cosine rule

Pythagoras Theorem

geometry

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.

Observation Checklist
