Overview of Assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit
must be able to apply aeronautical system design
principles and techniques in mechanical engineering
situations. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed
until all prerequisites have been satisfied.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment task one - Portfolio (50%)
Assessment task two - Project report (50%)
NB: This is a Competency assessed course. You must achieve competency for all Elements in order to pass. If you have achieved an overall Competent result you will then be given a graded assessment:
The grading codes are shown 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 the assessment/s
