Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Clarify the simulation task and elaborate the specification
  • Establish required features of the computer simulations in consultation with client
  • Determine parameters of the brief or contract
  • Determine stakeholders to be consulted in design process
  • Assess work health and safety (WHS), regulatory, sustainability or environmental issues relevant to design task
  • Confirm design brief, including budget and schedule, and provide preliminary advice on feasibility
       
Element: Research and test computer simulation options
  • Analyse computer simulations software for reliability, validity and robustness
  • Assess process simulation software for applications in commercial plant and processes
  • Test computer simulation software with known solutions
  • Select the most appropriate simulation option for the application
       
Element: Prepare concept proposal
  • Prepare computer simulation design
  • Complete required modelling, optimisation and sensitivity analysis
  • Generate design solutions in response to brief
  • Check feasibility and evaluate solutions against design criteria, standards and codes, ensuring conformity to WHS requirements
  • Prepare a proposal that includes results of feasibility study, consideration of expert opinion, initial calculations, modelling and the use of judgment and discretion
  • Review concept proposal with client to improve outcomes and overcome possible problems
  • Negotiate adjustments to brief or contract parameters if required
       
Element: Design plant, equipment or manufacturing process
  • Design plant, equipment or process using chosen simulation methods
  • Optimise simulation and analyse sensitivity
  • Provide documentation, graphics, specifications and instructions
  • Consult with client and stakeholders to obtain sign-off on design simulation
       

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.
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.
