Required knowledge includes: context and parameters of the planning and design process for a comprehensive range of engineering applications market and industrial context and parameters, such as financial, legal, resource and scheduling of the planning and design process for a significant and particular engineering application procedures for documenting and confirming client requirements client requirements appropriate codes, standards, specifications and legislative and regulatory requirements implications for sustainability and options for improved environmental outcomes issues of sustainability and environmental impact were examined constraints and risks associated with the development and implementation of the design the scope of the design sources of information on standard and innovative or creative project solutions issues of sustainability, environmental and/or community impact design parameters or constraints process of analysis, comparison and contrasting sequential and concurrent design activities input and effects of advice from colleagues, experts and specialists features of concept proposal in the context of design brief, feasibility study and expert opinion concept proposal review process human and physical resources available to carry out the design task the most appropriate process to develop the plan and design to meet the agreed outcomes and cost structure reasons for establishing and maintaining a document management process engineering fundamentals affecting selection of components and systems relevance of defined engineering activities to successful project completion and career enhancement reasons for using particular design approach, calculations and assumptions reasons for using particular hardware and software and programming technique reasons for considering or using particular scientific principles reasons for providing for particular materials properties knowledge in the implementation of the planning and design process reasons for providing for particular methods and processes in the implementation of the planning and design process graphical and documentary options rationale for graphics and documents raised in the context of application, project and contractual requirements reasons for use of elective competencies in the implementation of the planning and design process key aspects of the design and implementation plan in the context of current specification, contract and organisational procedures, OHS and regulatory standards effect of design team, expert input and client feedback on design and implementation plan procedures for gaining client endorsement and documenting client acceptance of the design solution and implementation plan significance of the document control process procedures for initiating and gaining approval for design changes procedures for updating issued documents appropriate tests and testing schedules to monitor the outcomes or performance of the project reasons for selecting the chosen tests and schedules variations in measured performance from design specifications corrective action to return the design outcome or project performance to specification Required skills include: researching and reporting context and parameters of the planning and design process for a comprehensive range of engineering applications planning and designing a significant and particular engineering application within the market and industrial context and in conformance with project parameters, such as financial, legal, resource and scheduling documenting and confirming client requirements in accordance with organisational procedures and practices informing client of known OHS, regulatory, ethical, environmental, physical and cost limitations identifying design parameters establishing scope of design brief writing specifications to meet design requirements documenting and agreeing on acceptance criteria with the client reviewing different approaches of technical feasibility, innovation, creativity, and acceptance to client documenting possible design concepts analysing, comparing and contrasting the relative merits of possible design concepts documenting an objective analysis of each approach (e.g. weighted ‘trade-off’ table) organising design activities into sequential and concurrent design activities discussing proposals with colleagues and specialists clarifying creative and technical aspects of the proposals documenting concept proposal in accordance with organisational procedures establishing the design and planning team in accordance with organisational procedures identifying resources and establishing management procedures controlling documentation in accordance with established procedures selecting components and systems addressing professional indemnity and ethical issues negotiating, documenting and monitoring outcomes and performance measures developing work instructions monitoring and correcting project progress performing risk analysis and corrective action assumptions and calculations for implementation of the planning and design process preparing design diagrams and calculations applying scientific principles in the implementation of the planning and design process selecting materials selecting engineering methods and processes creating demonstration models confirming the design solution and plan authorising modifications to the engineering specification in accordance with organisational procedures incorporating corrections and improvements to the design into the revised design solution and plan applying OHS, environment and regulatory standards completing design documentation documenting changes to the design and implementation plan obtaining and reviewing feedback from the commissioning process monitoring the project outcomes or performance in the user’s environment addressing deficiencies in project outcomes or performance as measured against current
