Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Provide calculated solutions to electrotechnical engineering problems
   • Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures for a given work area are obtained and applied
2. Scope of the problems are obtained from documentation and/or from work supervisor to determine work to be undertaken
3. Problems are stated in writing and/or diagrammatic form to ensure they are identified, and relevant methods used to resolve them
4. Constants and variables related to the problem are obtained from measured values and/or problem documentation
5. Alternative methods for resolving the problem are considered and, as required, discussed with relevant person/s
6. Problems are solved using relevant mathematical processes and techniques within relevant industry standards
7. Complete work and document calculated solutions to electrotechnical activities
   • Justification for solutions used to solve electrotechnical engineering problems is documented in work/project development records in accordance with relevant industry standards
8. Work completion is documented and relevant person/s notified

Range Statement

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.
