Course Description

This unit covers contributing to the management of risk in electrotechnology systems related to OHS, environment, resources and financial viability. It encompasses contributing to the identification of electrotechnology systems risks; and risk events, the likelihood and consequences of such events, evaluating risk, risk management planning and mitigation of risk.


National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

UEENEEE078B Contribute to risk management in electrotechnology systems

Element:

1. Contribute to the identification of risks and development of management strategies

Performance Criteria:

1.1 OHS policies, processes and procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and understood.
1.2 The extent of a program or project is established from design brief, specification and/or other relevant documentation and from discussions with appropriate person(s).
1.3 Potential, perceived and actual risk events and electrotechnology systems risks are identified, documented and analysed, in consultation with appropriate other person(s) in accordance with organisation policies and procedures.
1.4 Risk management methods, tools and techniques are used to assist in the analysis and reporting of identified risk events.
1.5 Risk management techniques are used to analyse electrotechnology systems risks and risk events, assess options and recommend risk approaches to appropriate person(s) for approval.
1.6 Draft risk management processes and procedures are developed and communicated with all stakeholders to ensure understanding of management of risk factors.
1.7 Risk management processes and procedures are submitted to appropriate person(s) for approval in accordance with established procedures.
1.8 OHS risk control measures are submitted for incorporation in the risk management strategies in compliance with organisation’s OHS policy and regulations.

Performance Criteria:

2.1 Risk management processes and procedures are produced and submitted for incorporation into work
and project plans to ensure common approach achieving outcomes.
2.2 Activities are monitored against programs and projects plans to identify and responses submitted to appropriate person(s) for approval for variations in accordance with risk management processes and established procedures.
2.3 Agreed risk responses are revised for implementation and plans modified following approval to reflect hanging project objectives in an environment of uncertainty, in accordance with risk management processes and established procedures.

Element:

3. Contribute to the evaluation of risk management strategies

Performance Criteria:

3.1 Project outcomes are reviewed with appropriate person(s) to determine effectiveness of risk management processes and established procedures.
3.2 Risk issues and recommended improvements are identified, documented and submitted to appropriate person(s) for approval to incorporate them into ongoing programs and future program and project and plans.
3.3 Outcomes are documented and recorded/stored in accordance established procedures.

Learning Outcomes



Details of Learning Activities

Students participate in development and follow a personal competency development plan as described in includes:
A) Seeking and understanding the responsibilities under a competency development plan.
B) Seeking and understanding how to achieve the individual competencies in the plan.
C) Following all aspects of the plan diligently.
D) Pursuing opportunities to develop competency.
E) Self-monitoring competency development.
F) Periodically reporting competency development activities.
G) Dealing with unplanned events by drawing on essential knowledge and skills to provide appropriate solutions incorporated in a holistic assessment with the above listed items.
In this unit you will learn industry recognized skills in designing, implementing and managing a computer project.
Classroom activities:
Lectures: to introduce the important concepts.
• Attending lectures will make it much easier for you to understand the central concepts of the course
• You will feel more comfortable and you will learn more if you read the relevant material before you attend the lectures
Tutorials: to enable you to ask questions and to clarify unresolved issues
• Review the material and prepare your questions before you come to class.
• There will be an overview of course content with a focus on the material students find difficult
• If something is unclear or if you find yourself falling behind please ask for help immediately
• You may be given worksheets to complete during the tutorial
Work simulated activities: you will progressively implement a networking scenario as you would be expected to do in industry.
• You will be expected to work on a networking scenario progressively as you learn the material required for you to be able to do so.
• Leaving the work to a late stage and then rushing to complete it is bad industrial practice. It will be strongly discouraged and marked down heavily. You will be expected to meet progressive milestones in the completion of this activity.
Occupational Health and Safety:
• Conduct in lecture theatres, classrooms and laboratories will be of a standard required by OH&S legislation as applied to industry.
• You must behave in such a way as not to place the health and safety of yourself or anyone else at risk
• Covered shoes must be worn in all labs
• Thongs and sandals must not be worn in any lab
Preparation for the Work place:
All skills and knowledge in this course are oriented towards current industry practices and technologies. An essential industry expectation is that you are responsible for your behaviour and actions. When you are in employment you will be expected to attend work on time on a regular basis, perform you work on time to an accepted standard and be responsible for what you do. Industry will expect you to comprehend and follow both verbal and written instructions. All industry expectations will be applied to you in this course.
You will be expected to:
• Observe all Occupational Health and Safety requirements
• You must behave in such a way as not to place the health and safety of yourself or anyone else at risk
• Prepare for classes
• Attend all classes regularly and on time
• Use your class time in a productive and responsible way
• Finish your work on time to an accepted standard
• Pay attention to, comprehend and follow both verbal and written instructions.
• It is your personal responsibility to be aware of course requirements and timelines
• Please ask if something is not clear
The Preparation for the Workplace component will be an essential part of the assessment for this course. It will be included in the assessment of the practical and work simulated activities.
Activities Outside of Class:
It is expected that students allocate at least 60% of course hours for reading, independent study, project research, design, implementation, testing and problem solving activities.
 


Teaching Schedule
