Unit of Competency UEEEC0044 - Modify - redesign electronics and communications systems
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to modify and redesign electronics and communications systems.It includes modification and redesign of electronics and communications system to augment existing systems for clients. It also includes safe working practices, system parameter reconfiguration, analysis to assure optimum performance, following procedures, and documenting final modifications and settings.Permits may be required for some work environments, such as confined spaces, working aloft, near live electrical apparatus and site rehabilitation.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 hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

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.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry

resources that reflect current industry practices in relation to modifying and redesigning electronics and communications systems

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare to modify/redesign electronics and communications system
  • Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures for a given work area are obtained and applied
       
Element: WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures in preparation for work activity are followed
       
Element: Safety hazards that have not previously been identified are noted on job safety assessment, assessed and risk control measures implemented
       
Element: Appropriate person/s is consulted to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others involved on the worksite
       
Element: System operating parameters are identified by reviewing system specifications and component technical data
       
Element: Limitations, use and operation of the electronics and communication system to be modified are determined from original specifications, manufacturer data and industry standards
       
Element: Extent of modification is determined from measurements, tests, inspections, system limitations and other relevant requirements
       
Element: Specifications and instructions for the modifications are documented in accordance with job requirements and workplace procedures
       
Element: Tools, equipment, applications and devices needed for the electronics work are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked for correct operation and safety
       
Element: Preparatory work is checked to ensure no unnecessary damage has occurred and complies with job requirements and specifications
       
Element: Generate modification and redesign of electronics and communications system
  • WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures for carrying out the work are followed
       
Element: Alternative modification is considered and discussed with appropriate person/s
       
Element: Safety, functionality and economic considerations are incorporated in the proposed modification design
       
Element: Proposed communications system modification complies with job requirements and specifications for system design alteration are documented
       
Element: Changes in the use and operation of the communications system as a consequence of the proposed modification are included in the design documentation
       
Element: Unplanned situations are responded to in accordance with workplace procedures, discussions with appropriate person/s and job specifications or requirements in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment
       
Element: Modification and redesign are carried out efficiently without unnecessary waste of materials or damage to electronics apparatus, the surrounding environment or services using sustainable energy principles
       
Element: Complete design and report modification activities
  • WHS/OHS risk control work completion measures and workplace procedures are followed
       
Element: Proposed modification is checked in accordance with workplace procedures for compliance with relevant job requirements and industry standards
       
Element: Worksite is cleaned and made safe in accordance with workplace procedures
       
Element: Proposed modification is submitted for appropriate organisational approval and, as required, statutory or regulatory approval
       
Element: Approved copies of the communications system modification and redesign documents are issued and copies retained, documented and stored in records in accordance with workplace procedures
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least one occasion and include:

developing outlines of alternative redesigns

developing the modified/redesigned system within the safety and functional requirements and budget limitations

documenting and presenting modifications/redesigns effectively

successfully negotiating system alteration requests

obtaining approval for final modified/redesigned system

dealing with unplanned events

applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, workplace procedures and practices, including using of risk control measures

applying sustainable energy principles and practices.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions and include knowledge of:

electronic and communications engineering design processes

functional and non-functional requirements of a customer encompassing:

scope of the project

non-functional requirements, including:

economics (time and cost), including total life cycle costs

design

implementation (construction)

maintenance (operation)

decommissioning (recycling)

aesthetics (quality)

design objectives (specifications)

specifications by defining the problem and producing a solution to satisfy the customer

creation of the design plan through solution synthesis by selecting or creating the solution

analysis

optimisation of the proposed solution

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.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Modifying/redesigning electronics and communications systems must include at least the following:

two different and representative types of electronics and communications systems

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.
