Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

MEM23153A - Contribute to the design of heat exchanger systems

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Establish requirements for heat exchanger design

  1. Obtain and implement work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements for a given work area
  2. Determine the extent of the design from design briefs, reports and in consultations with appropriate personnel
  3. Determine and interpret relevant standards, codes or regulations applicable to the design
  4. Consult appropriate personnel to ensure that work is coordinated effectively with others
  5. Obtain equipment and resources needed for the task in accordance with enterprise procedures

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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.

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

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:

implement WHS workplace procedures and practices, including the use of risk control measures as specified in the performance criteria and range

demonstrate essential knowledge and skills to design heat exchanger systems

demonstrate competency within a timeframe typically expected of the discipline, work function and industrial environment

demonstrate the design of heat exchanger systems consistently.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations.

The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

Method of assessment

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

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge.

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

Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.

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 may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency where required.

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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Required skills include:

interpreting client requirements and specifications

determining performance aspects of heat exchanger

interpreting current codes and regulations

selecting major system components and materials using manufacturer's data

using relevant software tools effectively

interpreting drawings and specifications

communicating effectively with others

communicating technical and procedural requirements to others

documenting technical information and designs

dealing effectively with unexpected situations

working in teams and with others

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes:

thermodynamic principles

heat transfer

refrigeration/heat pump parameters

airflow parameters and measurement of airflow

calorimetric measurements

measurement of temperature

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. 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.

WHS requirements

WHS requirements include:

relevant legislation

protective equipment

material safety management systems

hazardous substances and dangerous goods code

local safe operation procedures

awards provisions

Environmental requirements

Environmental requirements include:

relevant legislation, regulations and codes

correct handling and disposal of liquid and solid waste

elimination or minimisation of gas, fume, vapour and smoke emissions, including fugitive emissions

dust elimination, minimisation and control

minimisation of energy and water use

elimination or control of excessive noise

use and recycling of refrigerants

Appropriate personnel

Appropriate personnel may include:

supervisor

leading hand

foreman

manager

engineer

technician

trainer

mentor

team member

customer

client

Resources

Resources may include:

data sheets

appropriate modelling software

manuals and tables

stationery

Enterprise procedures

Enterprise procedures may include:

the use of tools and equipment

instructions, including job sheets, plans, drawings and designs

reporting and communication

manufacturer specifications

operational procedures

industry standards

Equipment

Equipment may include:
