Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.

Pre-requisites and Co-requisites

Pre-requisite unit: UEECD0007 - Apply work health and safety regulations, code and practices in the workplace

Course Description

In this course you will gain the skills and knowledge required to modify and redesign electronics and communication systems. You will also develop understanding in:

  • safe working practices
  • system parameter reconfiguration
  • analysis to assure optimum performance
  • following procedures
  • documenting final modificaiton and settings

This course is delivered and assessed with the following: 

  • UEEEC0016 - Develop engineering solutions to RF amplifier problems; and 
  • UEEEC0007 - Commission electronics and communications systems


National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

UEEEC0044 Modify/redesign of electronics and communications systems

Element:

1. Prepare to modify/redesign electronics and communications system

Performance Criteria:

1.1 Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures for a given work area are obtained and applied

1.2 WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures in preparation for work activity are followed

1.3 Safety hazards that have not previously been identified are noted on job safety assessment, assessed and risk control measures implemented

1.4 Appropriate person/s is consulted to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others involved on the worksite

1.5 System operating parameters are identified by reviewing system specifications and component technical data

1.6 Limitations, use and operation of the electronics and communication system to be modified are determined from original specifications, manufacturer data and industry standards

1.7 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 job requirements and workplace procedures

1.9 Tools, equipment, applications and devices needed for the electronics work are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked for correct operation and safety

1.10 Preparatory work is checked to ensure no unnecessary damage has occurred and complies with job requirements and specifications

Element:

2. Generate modification and redesign of electronics and communications system

Performance Criteria:

2.1 WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures for carrying out the work are followed

2.2 Alternative modification is considered and discussed with appropriate person/s

2.3 Safety, functionality and economic considerations are incorporated in the proposed modification design

2.4 Proposed communications system modification complies with job requirements and specifications for system design alteration are documented

2.5 Changes in the use and operation of the communications system as a consequence of the proposed modification are included in the design documentation

2.6 Unplanned situations are responded to in accordance with workplace procedures, discussions with appropriate person/s and job specifications or requirements in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment

2.7 Modification and redesign are carried out efficiently without unnecessary waste of materials or damage to electronics apparatus, the surrounding environment or services using sustainable energy principles

Element:

3. Complete design and report modification activities

Performance Criteria:

3.1 WHS/OHS risk control work completion measures and workplace procedures are followed

3.2 Proposed modification is checked in accordance with workplace procedures for compliance with relevant job requirements and industry standards

3.3 Worksite is cleaned and made safe in accordance with workplace procedures

3.4 Proposed modification is submitted for appropriate organisational approval and, as required, statutory or regulatory approval

3.5 Approved copies of the communications system modification and redesign documents are issued and copies retained, documented and stored in records in accordance with workplace procedures
