Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Develop, apply and maintain capacity for analysis
  • Demonstrate a systematic approach to investigation, analysis and solution of broadly defined engineering and related problems
  • Analyse causes and effects of non-conformances
  • Identify issues which require specialist assistance or have implications beyond personal expertise
  • Use modelling, prototyping, tests and/or experiments to support problem-solving
  • Interpret, apply and verify compliance with relevant legislation, standards and codes of practice
  • Determine properties, performance, safe working limits, failure modes, and/or other inherent parameters of materials, components and systems relevant to specialist area of expertise
  • Apply research and communication techniques to access external reference material and assistance
  • Report results of analysis and propose solutions that are appropriate to the needs of the organisation
  • Share and encourage review of work by others in organisation
       
Element: Communicate in a manner appropriate for content and audience
  • Actively communicate with others, including listening to, and critically and fairly comprehending, the viewpoints of others
  • Express information effectively and succinctly
  • Communicate formally and informally with technically competent and non-technically competent individuals and groups in a manner appropriate to their level of knowledge and competency

  • Use textual, diagrammatic, pictorial and graphical media appropriate to the context
  • Prepare relevant and comprehensive engineering-related documents and reports
       
Element: Work within organisational quality systems and management practices
  • Apply principles of safety engineering
  • Identify the role of quality management systems and manage work accordingly
  • Respect and accommodate the broader context of engineering work within the organisation
       
Element: Maintain and apply technical and engineering skills
  • Identify own area of expertise and responsibility in the organisation and relate to one or more engineering disciplines
  • Identify current state of development and recent applications in area of specialist knowledge or discipline
  • Determine the key scientific and engineering principles relevant to own area of specialist knowledge or discipline
  • Apply, adapt and manage engineering knowledge and practice in different work contexts and applications
  • Use approaches that work from first principles
  • Identify and select materials, components, devices, systems, processes, resources, plant and equipment using appropriate reference materials and own knowledge to meet briefs
  • Follow processes to maximise use of sustainable engineering practices and the achievement of sustainable outcomes in all facets of technological project work
  • Monitor and suggest improvements to the technical framework of the organisation through monitoring of developments in own discipline
       

Submission Requirements

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

(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.
