ELEMENTS

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1

Provide solutions to engineering problems

1.1

1.2

Scope of problems are obtained from documentation and/or work instruction to solve problems

1.3

Problems are documented and/or provided in diagrammatic form and appropriate methods identified to resolve them

1.4

Constants and variables to problems are obtained from measured values and/or problem documentation

1.5

Alternative methods for resolving problems are reviewed and, as required, discussed with relevant person/s

1.6

Problems are resolved using mathematical processes in accordance with workplace procedures

2

Complete work and documentation
