Overview of Assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to apply basic electro and control scientific principles and techniques in mechanical and manufacturing engineering situations.
The assessment is conducted in both theoretical and practical aspects of the course according to the performance criteria set in the National Training Package. Assessment may incorporate a variety of methods including written/oral activities and demonstration of practical skills to the relevant industry standards.
Participants are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment activities to their teacher/assessor.
Feedback will be provided throughout the course. To successfully complete this course you will be required to demonstrate competency in each assessment task detailed under Assessment Tasks section of Course Guide Part B.
Assessment Tasks
Students must pass each of the following assessment tasks to demonstrate competent.
Assessment Task 1 – Written Project Report (Individual) 50%
Assessment Task 2 – Written Project Report (Group work - 2 to 3 students per group) 50%
All assessment tasks need to be succesfully completed to demonstrate competence.Courses
delivered in accordance with competency-based assessment, but which also utilise graded
assessment.
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 for assessment
