Course Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to interpret a brief for the vision system requirements of a production or space and to design a plan for the installation of vision systems. The development of a vision system plan requires considerable knowledge of the operational aspects of all types of vision systems and would normally be undertaken by senior technicians or technical directors.

Overview of Assessment
Assessment tasks include the development of vision system plans, presentations and theory tests
Assessment Tasks
To demonstrate competency in this course you will need to complete the following pieces of assessment to a satisfactory standard. You will receive feedback on all assessment.
1. The development of a vision system plan and presentation to class (Group work). This assessment is expected to demonstrate your team’s effective interpretation of a vision brief with workable plans to meet the brief. Use of effective communication with peers and other technical personnel is critical. It is due to be completed in Weeks 9 – 13, Semester 1. (20%)
2. ‘Design a Vision System’ open book test. This assessment is expected to demonstrate your effective interpretation of a vision brief with workable plans to meet the brief in a limited time frame. It is due to be completed in Week 8, Semester 1. (20%)
3. Theory test. This is an examination of your technical knowledge and you are expected to answer a range of multiple-choice, short and long answer questions related to the competency unit, class notes/discussions and the course material on blackboard. It is due to be completed in Week 15, Semester 1. (20%)
