Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to apply intermediate principles of marine engineering thermodynamics to perform calculations and explain the operation of marine machinery, including engines, compressors, steam plants, refrigeration and air-conditioning units.This unit applies to the work of a Marine Engineer Class 2 on commercial vessels greater than 3000 kW and forms part of the requirements for the Certificate of Competency Marine Engineer Class 2 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. Assessment must satisfy the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (NVR)/Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) standards. 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 these are not available, in simulated workplace operational situations or an industry-approved marine operations site that replicates workplace conditions where intermediate principles of marine engineering thermodynamics can be applied. Resources for assessment include access to: applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals diagrams, specifications and other information required for performing intermediate calculations related to marine engineering thermodynamics relevant and appropriate materials and equipment relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impacts on work activities technical reference library with current publications on intermediate marine thermodynamics. Performance should be demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts. |
