Description | |||
Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to apply basic principles of marine engineering thermodynamics to perform calculations and to explain the operation of marine machinery, including engines, compressors, steam plants, refrigeration and air-conditioning units.This unit applies to the work of Marine Engineering Watchkeepers on commercial vessels greater than 750 kW and forms part of the requirements for the Certificate of Competency Marine Engineer Watchkeeper issued by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Assessors must satisfy National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (NVR)/Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) assessor requirements. Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least one occasion and include: 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. Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations or where this is not available, in simulated workplace operational situations or an industry-approved marine operations site that replicate workplace conditions where basic principles of marine engineering thermodynamics can be applied. Resources for assessment include access to: diagrams, specifications and other information required for performing basic calculations related to marine engineering thermodynamics regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals relevant and appropriate tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry relevant documentation including workplace procedures, technical reference library with current publications on basic marine thermodynamics. Performance should be demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts. |
