Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes required to carry out research activities, analyse research data, and produce research reports relating to the design, development and production of motor vehicles, in conjunction with engineering personnel.

It applies to those in an automotive manufacturing environment at a specialist technician level.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Elements

Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section

1. Determine research requirements

1.1 Research brief or problem is defined in conjunction with relevant design, engineering, marketing, production or other personnel

1.2 Research processes and requirements are developed from an analysis of available information

1.3 Research processes and requirements are documented and validated

2. Conduct research

2.1 Research strategies for use in the research project are identified and evaluated

2.2 Research plan is submitted for approval

2.3 Research activities are conducted

2.4 Collected information is processed and summarised according to the research strategy

3. Evaluate research outcomes

3.1 Research data is analysed

3.2 Research outcomes are structured to address research brief or defined problem

3.3 Specific issues and important additional findings are highlighted and summarised

3.4 Research outcomes are discussed with relevant personnel and appropriate adjustments are made to findings based on feedback

4. Document and distribute research outcomes

4.1 Research outcomes are summarised

4.2 Research documentation is completed, saved and stored for future reference

4.3 Research documentation is distributed to specified personnel

Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
