None
Course Description
This unit of competency sets out the knowledge and skills required to design mechanical engineering systems. This includes use of codes, catalogues and design handbooks to extract information to make appropriate calculations and/or selections. This is based on skills encompassing project management, client liaison, design options, tender documentation and technical reporting.

Overview of Assessment
Various written assignments/tests and practical exercises/projects 100%
Assessment Tasks
The assessment is conducted in both theoretical and practical aspects of the course according to the performance criteria set
in the National Training Package. To successfully complete this course you will be required to demonstrate competency in each assessment tasks detailed
under Assessment Task Section.
You are required to demonstrate competency by completing every task in the following two assessments:
1. Project - End of the course (40%)
2. Test in three parts (open book) - throughout the course (60%)
Competency and Grading Information
Competency requirements: (Insert following).
To be deemed competent students must satisfactorily demonstrate competence in all elements listed above. Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over multiple tasks.
Students are advised that they will be asked to demonstrate their competence per student assignments and tests which will be used to assess their competence.
All assessments for this course must be successfully completed to achieve a CA (Competency Achieved) grade. Only if Competency is achieved will a graded result be given using the coding choices listed below:
CHD: Competent with High Distinction
CDI: Competent with Distinction
CC: Competent with Credit
CAG: Competency Achieved - Graded
NYC: Not Yet Competent
DNS: Did Not Submit for assessment
Assessment Matrix
Assessment 1. Project - - Elements 1 -5
Assessment 2. Test (three parts, open book) - Elements 1 - 5
