Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to modify and recommission electronic equipment. Where soldering of components is required to advanced or military specifications, where the reliability of electrical connections is critical, or where surface mounted devices are being soldered/de-soldered then unit MEM05002 Perform high reliability soldering and desoldering should also be selected. Where drafting skills are required unit MEM09003 Prepare basic engineering drawing and unit MEM09004 Perform electrical or electronic detail drafting, should also be selected as appropriate.Where the selection and use of engineering measurement is required unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements should also be selected. 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.

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.

Modifications of analog and digital electronic equipment and systems include one (1) or more of the following:

minor adjustments and alterations

experimental and developmental modifications of a complex nature

replacement and/or alterations of:

system equipment

sub-assemblies

printed circuit board (PCB) components

Test equipment includes one (1) or more of the following:

continuity testers

ammeters

voltmeters

cathode ray oscilloscopes

frequency counters

signal generators

digital probes

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.
