Qualification -
Unit of Competency MEMPE004A - Use fabrication equipment
Description This unit of competency involves setting up and using fabrication equipment to make engineered components.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit is designed for use in a pre-employment skills introduction program and is suitable for use in institutional-based vocational programs. Skills development will take place under direct supervision.This unit is not to be used in a traineeship or apprenticeship training program or associated qualifications. It is only to be used in pre-employment programs and carries no credit towards apprenticeship/trade and other qualification types in manufacturing and engineering.This unit should be integrated with the work in the project unit, MEMPE006A Undertake a basic engineering project, and skills developed when required by the project.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
Prerequisites/co-requisites Not applicable.

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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to prepare materials, set up and use fabrication machinery to make engineering components.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can:

work safely

prepare materials including any required marking out

set fabrication equipment according to given instructions

use fabrication equipment to bend, roll and shape metal

read and interpret routine information on written job instructions

use measuring equipment as required

clean and store equipment as instructed.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit must be assessed in a learning institution.

Assessment must cover the successful use of fabrication equipment.

The skills covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone under direct supervision.

The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

This unit may be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, hand tools, machine operation, recording and reporting associated with using fabrication equipment.

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the MEM05 Metal and Engineering Training Package.

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is not only able to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.

Assessment should be in conjunction with assessment of the project unit and other units integrated into the project.

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Submission Requirements

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

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

Required skills include:

preparing materials, including marking out, as required

setting fabrication equipment according to given instructions

using fabrication equipment to bend, roll and shape metal

reading and interpreting routine information on written job instructions

using measuring skills as required

applying safe working practices

using and applying personal protective equipment

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes:

safe operation of machines/equipment

material and equipment preparation

basic marking out techniques

measuring tools

machine types for bending, rolling and shaping

work and tool holding methods for each machine

safe working practices

use and application of personal protective equipment

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.

Other relevant materials

Other relevant materials may include but are not limited to:

drawings

sketches

job instructions

schematics

diagrams

technical manuals

Fabrication machinery

Fabrication machinery may include but is not limited to:

shapers

benders

rollers

cut off machines

guillotines

Measuring equipment

Measuring equipment may include but is not limited to:

tape measures

vernier scaled measuring devices

rules

gauges

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.
