Implement design solutions

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to take a design concept or solution to the implementation stage. The outcome of work could be a completed product, object, system or service, but is more likely to be a complete or partial prototype or model for the design. The focus of the unit is on a general knowledge of design techniques and processes, and practical application to a specific design context.

It applies to individuals who implement concepts and solutions in response to a design challenge in any industry context.

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.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1 Organise resources for realising the design solution

1.1 Confirm the nature and scope of the proposed design solution

1.2 Research resources required for developing the design concept to implementation stage

1.3 Investigate different factors impacting the selection and use of resources

1.4 Select and prepare resources based on research and other legislative or organisational requirements

2 Test the design solution

2.1 Experiment with a range of different techniques and processes to test the design solution

2.2 Evaluate, challenge and refine testing processes

2.3 Gain input and feedback from key stakeholders during testing

2.4 Accurately document outcomes of testing

2.5 Select final design solution based on outcomes of testing and input from others

3 Develop prototype or model

3.1 Create prototype or model based on agreed approaches

3.2 Select and organise materials, tools and equipment, where appropriate, according to chosen design solution

3.3 Expose model or prototype to quality checks and ongoing analysis, enhancement and refinement

3.4 Compare completed prototype or model against identified needs and other considerations and make adjustments as required

4 Present prototype or model

4.1 Identify key stakeholders design should be presented to

4.2 Select appropriate format for presentation based on nature of audience and design

4.3 Present prototype or model to optimise clarity, conciseness and appeal

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.
