Represent avionic engineering designs

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


Competency in this unit includes contribution to the full design process by the creation of documentation, graphics and specifications representing products, processes, systems or services in support of the planning and design processes within avionic engineering. Graphics may be produced using manual or computer-aided design (CAD) software and techniques.

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to represent the design of avionic engineering products, processes, systems or services using appropriate graphical techniques, specifications and documentation. Work would typically be carried out as part of a design or engineering support team.

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.

Overview of assessment

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to represent the design of avionic engineering products, processes, systems or services for a range of engineering applications. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor’s reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

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 an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.

Method of assessment

This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with represent the design of avionic engineering products, processes, systems or services or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.

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.

applying graphical techniques correctly

addressing design specifications, manufacturing and operational requirements, safety and related standards appropriately in the initial graphical representations

presenting the graphical representations the dimensions, limits and fits, tolerances and surface textures, datum references and geometry tolerances as determined by design calculations and in accordance with engineering references, standards and codes

producing initial graphical representation and documentation materials, manufacturing methods and processes and design functional specification sufficient for client, design team and interested party consultation and validation

producing initial graphical representations to organisational requirements using suitable graphical techniques

producing initial production graphics, technical specifications and operational and maintenance instructions/manuals in accordance with worksite procedures and client needs

using appropriate communication skills in confirming that the design graphical representation meets the needs of the client and the expectations of other team members and interested parties

completing organisational procedures and sign-off documentation

preparing production graphics, specifications and instructions in accordance with the agreed design concept and organisational requirements and incorporating feedback on initial design graphics

incorporating feedback from the implementation, installation and commissioning phases into final graphics, specifications

processing, filing and saving all graphics, specifications, instructions and related documentation in correct format and location in accordance with worksite procedures

Graphical representation

Graphical representation may include:

manual or CAD software and techniques, such as:

sketching and layout techniques

reading

interpreting of drawings

documentation and design briefs
