Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency applies to design of aircraft electrical systems and components for aircraft, design of modifications and development, and update of test procedures and of repair requirements. It includes electrical design techniques and performance of the design process within the requirements of airworthiness regulators and documentation of the design process within management systems, such as configuration management (CM) and integrated logistic support (ILS).It is suitable for people working as members of design teams and for those employed within maintenance engineering support departments or pursuing careers and qualifications as paraprofessionals in avionic engineering.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: communicate, negotiate and review design brief with stakeholders determine or confirm scientific principles and design techniques, WHS and regulatory requirements, and design specification requirements evaluate multiple solutions investigate life-cycle design and sustainability, technical and professional assistance required plan, schedule and coordinate the design task select design components using design process and scientific principles integrate aircraft electrical hardware and components into aircraft electrical systems solve problems and make decisions with systems thinking for contingencies and constraints and continuous improvement define designs, specify and document and apply graphical techniques, modelling, mock-up or prototyping techniques create and maintain adequate and accurate calculations and design process records report and document results and processes. 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). |
