Unit of Competency MEM12023 - Perform engineering measurements
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to perform measurements requiring straightforward use of mechanical measuring devices which incorporate visual inspections representing units of measurement and associated calculations in a range of manufacturing, engineering and related environments. Measurements may be expressed in metric or imperial units.Electrical/electronic devices used are those not requiring the connection or disconnection of circuitry.Where the interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: AUnit Weight: 5
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Specifications include one (1) or more of the following:

drawings

sketches

job instructions

schematics

diagrams

reference manuals

Measuring devices include one (1) or more of the following:

protractors

combination squares

set squares

dial indicators

thermometers

tapes

rules

micrometres

vernier-scaled measuring equipment

Calculations include one (1) or more of the following:

addition

subtraction

multiplication

division

fractions

decimals

Note: Calculations may be made using a calculator

Routine adjustments include the following:

validating the device using simple zeroing or scale adjustment

Measurements include one (1) or more of the following:

length

squareness

flatness

angle

roundness

clearances

any other measurements that can be read off analogue, digital or other measuring device

Information includes one (1) or more of the following:

dimensions

instructions

base line

datum points

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
