National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

UTENES304CA Undertake commissioning of advanced systems & apparatus (Electronics)

Element:

• Plan and prepare to undertake commissioning procedures
• Undertake commissioning procedures of advanced systems and associated apparatus
• Inspect and notify completion of work

Performance Criteria:

1.1 Commissioning procedures are planned and prepared to ensure
OH&S policies and procedures are followed, the work is
appropriately sequenced in accordance with requirements
1.2 Appropriate personnel are consulted to ensure the work is
coordinated effectively with others involved on the work site
1.3 Systems' commissioning procedures are checked against
requirements
1.4 Materials necessary to complete the work are obtained in
accordance with established procedures and checked against
requirements
1.5 Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to carry out the
commissioning work are obtained in accordance with established
procedures and checked for correct operation and safety
1.6 Preparatory work is checked to ensure no unnecessary damage
has occurred and complies with requirements

2.1 OH&S policies and procedures are followed
2.2 Systems are checked as being isolated where necessary using
specified testing procedures
2.3 Unplanned events or conditions are responded to in accordance
with established procedures
2.4 Systems' commissioning procedures are performed in accordance with requirements, without
damage or distortion to the surrounding environment or services
2.5 Contingency measures are managed and implemented in
accordance with established procedures to ensure the system
operates as intended or designed
2.6 On-going checks of the quality of the work are undertaken in
accordance with established procedures
2.7 OH&S policies and procedures are followed
2.8 Systems are checked as being isolated where necessary using
specified testing procedures
2.9 Unplanned events or conditions are responded to in accordance
with established procedures

3.1 Final inspections and performance checks are undertaken to
ensure that the commissioning procedures of advanced system
and associated apparatus conforms to requirements
3.2 Commissioning results and work completion are notified in accordance with established
procedures


Learning Outcomes



Details of Learning Activities

Participate in individual small research projects in designated areas of underpinning knowledge including:

· The operation and application theory of BJT/ FET amplifiers in various circuit configurations, which may include calculations for various amplifier parameters but not limited to: voltage & current gain, input & output resistance and power.

· Theory and applications of operational amplifier.

Participate in individual and team problem solving scenarios/ case studies dealing with a range of practical exercises including:

· Skills in selecting most appropriate amplifier based on application criteria; construction of amplifier circuits; test, measure and confirm the AC operating conditions of BJT and FET amplifiers in various configurations and with specified bias; stabilisation and feedback using oscilloscope and other currently available measuring instruments.

· Development of skills in applying modelling and analysis methods to construct different operational amplifiers and filter circuits and take electrical measurement at the output: voltage, current, resistance, using analogue and digital multimeters, oscilloscope and other currently available measuring instruments.

Participate in supervised workshop practice in simulated workplace environment, including:

· The design and construction of BJT/ FET and Op-amp amplifier circuits, development of testing procedure to verify the performance specification, diagnosis of faults in the systems and completion of commissioning process. Specifications will be provided.

Overview of Assessment

This is a progressive assessment, the underpinning knowledge will be assessed on the completion of each course, but the competency itself will not be signed off until further courses related to the competency are completed and the student is deemed competent.
The students are required to undertake summative assessments as follows:
• Progressive Written Assessments
• Written Assignments
• Scheduled Practical Exercises
• Work Simulation Projects


Assessment Tasks

1. Three Progressive written assessments.

2. Two work-simulation projects on design, construction, testing and commissioning of BJT/FET amplifiers and op-amp filters. Individual performance and reports are compulsory.

3. Scheduled Practical Exercises (must pass all practical exercises).

4. Written assignments with given task-documents. Verbal questioning on the submitted assignments is required.

To pass this course, student must complete all the scheduled practical exercises and written assignments with satisfactory verbal questioning, the project work to specifications, pass the written examinations and submit well documented project reports.
