Course Description
This unit of competency sets out the knowledge and skills required to apply advanced dynamics to solve problems common to all engineering fields. This includes friction, centrifugal force, balancing, mechanical vibrations, impulse, momentum, impact, systems of bodies in motion, and simple, compound and epicyclic gearing.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
The unit applies to engineering, manufacturing, and construction environments where the application of advanced scientific principles can provide a solution to engineering problems.
This unit of competency is intended for courses at Advanced Diploma level or higher.
Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
It is recommended that learners attempting this unit have the required knowledge and skills as described in:
VBP230 Apply scientific principles to engineering problems; or equivalent.

Overview of Assessment
Assessment may incorporate a variety of methods including written/oral activities and demonstration of practical skills to the relevant industry standards. Participants are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment activities to their teacher/assessor. Feedback will be provided throughout the course.
Evidence of student’s competence can be gathered through a variety of ways including:
• observation of processes and procedures;
• oral and/or written questioning on required knowledge and skills;
• testimony from supervisors, colleagues, clients and/or other appropriate persons;
• inspection of the final product or outcome;
• a portfolio of documentary evidence.
Graded Assessment out of 100 Marks will be based on the results obtained for Assignments, Practical Reports & Unit Tests.
Students must gain a pass in ALL forms of assessment in order to gain this competency.
