Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Identify electronics/computer system project requirements
  2. Hazards are identified, WHS/OHS risks are assessed, control measures and workplace procedures are implemented in preparation for work
  3. Scope of proposed project design/development work is determined from design brief in consultation with appropriate person/s
  4. Project work is planned to meet scheduled timelines in consultation with others involved on the worksite
  5. Resources required for work are selected based on compatibility with project requirements and budget constraints
  6. Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to carry out work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety
  7. Design and develop electronics/computer system
  8. Electronics/computer devices and systems and industry standards are applied to the design specifications
  9. Alternative designs are considered based on the design brief
  10. Safety, functional and budget considerations are incorporated in the design
  11. Electronic/computer hardware and/or software systems are constructed and tested for compliance with design brief and regulatory requirements
  12. Electronic/computer faults are rectified and retested to ensure effective operation of design
  13. Project design specifications are documented for submission to appropriate person/s for approval
  14. Solutions to unplanned situations are implemented in accordance with workplace policy
  15. Obtain approval for electronics/computer system
  16. Modifications to design are negotiated with relevant person/s within the constraints of workplace policy
  17. Final project design is documented and approval obtained from appropriate person/s
  18. Quality of work is monitored against performance agreement and/or workplace or industry standards

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.

Designing and developing a medium-sized electronics/computer systems project includes designing, modifying, installing and applying the following:

at least four digital andfour analogue inputs and outputs (I/O), and at least one human-machine interface (HMI)
