Apply material science to solving electrotechnology engineering problems

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to apply material science to solving electrotechnology engineering problems.

It includes identifying and solving electrotechnology engineering problems using material science. It also includes applying knowledge of materials science and documenting justification for solutions.

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.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two separate occasions and include:

applying material science to developing solutions to electrotechnology problems

applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including

using risk control measures

considering environment and health risks in resolving electrotechnology problems

dealing with unplanned situations in accordance with WHS/OHS and approval from relevant person/s

documenting proposed solutions and justification

obtaining the scope of electrotechnology problem and materials to be used

obtaining tools, equipment and testing devices

interpreting results to identify material science solutions to electrotechnology problems

using testing devices

using test and measurement results to identify material science solutions.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

problem-solving techniques

relevant classification, nature and physical properties of materials used in electrotechnology

relevant environment and health issues

relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes

relevant manufacturer specifications and operating instructions

relevant material processing and manufacturing

relevant material science

relevant tests and measurement

relevant tools, equipment and testing devices

relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements

relevant workplace documentation, including

solution report

relevant workplace instruction, policies and procedures.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in suitable workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated suitable workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, facilities and equipment currently used in industry

resources that reflect current industry practices in relation to material science in electrotechnology

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

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.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Applying material science from the workplace must include:

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.
