Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

There must be evidence the candidate has completed the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit, and demonstrated the ability to:

research and use information about ergonomics, anthropometrics and proxemics in the design of three different products, drawn from any of one major and two minor design projects), and in doing so:

balance ergonomic, anthropometric and proxemic considerations with aesthetic and functional requirements

follow industry best-practice in understanding and application of ergonomics, anthropometrics and proxemics

seek subject-matter expertise to guide design, solutioning and assessment of results.

There must be evidence the candidate has knowledge of:

elements and principles of design, and their interrelationship with ergonomic, anthropometric and proxemic values

current market segment products, and suitable online and offline sources of inspiration and possible design elements that will meet client needs and demonstrate ergonomic, anthropometric and proxemic values:

brochures

magazines

websites such as online galleries and retail sites

design forums

reference books

other existing enterprise design information

transferable technological ideas or concepts

natural or man-made structures and objects

key aspects of the following and how they may impact the design of different products:

ergonomics:

safety

comfort

ease of use

productivity and performance

aesthetics

anthropometrics:

physical requirements and attributes of product end user

proxemics:

spacing requirements of product end user and location of product

all aspects of the product design, including but not limited to:

shape and dimension

materials

colour

texture, patterns and relief

the site and positioning of the end product

ability to produce in batches or limited production runs

ability to adapt the design to different production methods or volumes

Australian Standards and government recommendations for product design concerning ergonomics, anthropometrics and proxemics

materials, finishes and production methods, and how these interact with achievement of ergonomic, anthropometric and proxemic requirements.
