Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.
Pre-requisites and Co-requisites
MEM16008A Interact with computing technology
MEM30007A Select common engineering materials
MEM30012A Apply mathematical techniques in manufacturing, engineering or related situations
Course Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to represent the design of aeronautical engineering products, processes, systems or services using appropriate graphical techniques, specifications and documentation. Work would typically be carried out as part of a design or engineering support team.

Overview of Assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to represent the design of aeronautical engineering products, processes, systems or services for a range of general engineering applications. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment Tasks
Assessment task one - Portfolio (50%)
Assessment task two - Project report (40%)
Assessment task three-Poster (10%)
NB: This is a Competency assessed course. You must achieve competency for all Elements in order to achieve the competency. If you have achieved an overall competent result you will then be given a graded assessment:
