Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria under the specified conditions of assessment, and must include:
identifying and defining avionic circuit analysis problems
collecting and analysing data through the application of calculus techniques
reporting and presenting data and quantitative information
communicating effectively with stakeholders on problem resolution.
Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:
differential calculus:
differentiation from first principles
differentiation by rule
differentiating derivatives of trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential functions
Newton’s method
differentiation application (turning points, intercepts, limits, symmetry, maxima and minima rates)
solving first and second order differential equations
solving problems involving partial differentiation with up to three independent variables
integral calculus:
definite integrals
indefinite integrals
integration of trigonometric, algebraic and exponential functions
integration using partial fractions
integration using improper integrals
integration by parts
integration with the aid of tables
the calculation of areas and volumes
the determination of means and root mean square
the application of double integrals to moments problems and application of double integrals in polar form
complex numbers – manipulation of complex numbers and application of De Moivre’s theorem
electronic circuit analysis using fourier analysis and laplace transforms.
This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is, the candidate is not in productive work, then a simulated working environment must be used that reflects realistic workplace situations and conditions.
The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team.
Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.
Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.
Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:
identify appropriate calculus technique(s) for avionic engineering or related problems
apply the appropriate technique to the problem
perform circuit analysis using fourier analysis and laplace transforms
check answer has addressed problem
communicate the outcome of the analysis in an appropriate manner.
Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency where required.
Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors).
