Overview of Assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to represent the design of mechanical and manufacturing 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.
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
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 achieve the competency. If you have achieved an overall competent result you will then be given a graded assessment:
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
