Description | |||
Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | Applications of this unit of competency include selecting engineering materials and materials tests, sourcing materials data; ensuring appropriate performance and physical standards for aeronautical applications; documenting materials tests, ensured calibration standards; interpreting and documenting materials data sheets as appropriate for mass production, batch production, jobbing shop, and prototyping applications.Activities may be performed as a member of a design and development or engineering support team.This unit is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is, the candidate is not in productive work, then a simulated working environment must be used that reflects realistic workplace situations and conditions. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability. Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application. Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process. Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances. Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently: identify classes of materials for specific aeronautical engineering situations and specify by material specification identify testing requirements for selected materials and applicable organisations for the conduct of tests identify and specify processes required to achieve required material properties obtain and apply relevant MSDS ensure that material manufacturing and test records meet regulatory requirements. Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency where required. Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors). |
