Course Description

This competency standard unit covers the modification and redesign of electronics and communications systems to augment existing systems for clients. It encompasses safe working practices, system parameter reconfiguration, analysis to assure optimum performance, following procedures, and documenting final modifications and settings.


National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

UEENEEH168A Modify - redesign of electronics and communications systems

Element:

1. Prepare to modify-redesign of electronics and communications system(s).

Performance Criteria:

1.1 OHS procedures for a given work area are
obtained and understood.
1.2 Established OHS risk control measures and
procedures in preparation for the work are
followed.
1.3 Safety hazards that have not previously been
identified are noted and established risk control
measures are implemented.
1.4 Appropriate personnel are consulted to ensure
the work is co-ordinated effectively with others
involved on the work site.
1.5 System operating parameters are identified by
reviewing system specifications and component
technical data.
1.6 The limitations, use and operation of the system
to be modified is established from original
specifications, manufacturers‟ data and the like
1.7 The extent of modification is determined from
measurements, tests, inspections, system
limitations and other relevant requirements
1.8 Specifications and instructions for the
modifications are documented in accordance
with requirements and organisational procedures
1.9 Tools, equipment, applications, and devices
needed for the work are obtained in accordance
with established procedures and checked for
correct operation and safety.
1.10 Preparatory work is checked to ensure no
unnecessary damage has occurred and complies
with requirements.

Element:

2. Generate modification-redesign of electronics and communications system(s).

Performance Criteria:

2.1 OHS risk control measures and procedures for
carrying out the work are followed.
2.2 Alternative modification arrangements are
considered and discussed with appropriate
personnel
2.3 Safety, functionality and economic
considerations are incorporated in the proposed
modification design
Proposed modification complies with all
requirements and includes specifications and
documentation for alteration of the system(s)
Changes in the use and operation of the system(s) as a consequence of the proposed
modification are included in the documentation
2.4 Decisions for dealing with unexpected situations
are made from discussions with appropriate
persons and job specifications and requirements.
2.5 Methods for dealing with unexpected situations
are selected on the basis of safety and specified
work outcomes.
2.6 Modification-redesign is carried out efficiently
without unnecessary waste of materials or
damage to apparatus, the surrounding
environment or services and using sustainable
energy principles.

Element:

3. Completion and report modification-redesign activities.

Performance Criteria:

3.1 OHS risk control work completion measures and
procedures are followed.
3.2 Proposed modification is checked under
established procedures for compliance with all
relevant requirements
3.3 Work site is cleaned and made safe in
accordance with established procedures.
3.4 Proposed modification is submitted for
appropriate organisational approval and, where
applicable, statutory or regulatory approval
3.5 Approved copies of the modification-redesign
documents are issued, and copies retained,
documented and stored in records in accordance
with established procedures and requirements

Overview of Assessment

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:

Assessment 1: Test
Assessment 2: Project/Assignment
Assessment 3: Laboratory Exercise

These tasks assesses the following Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs):
