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!

Instructions to Assessors

Required Skills and Knowledge

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:

establishing the scope and parameters of the specification

determining the impact of other related works

developing the specification incorporating scenarios and all requirements

identifying competencies required for the specification

writing specifications

negotiating alterations to the proposed specification successfully

obtaining approval of the final specification

dealing with unplanned events

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

establishing the specification using formal evaluations/surveys

preparing specification requirements.

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:

electrical engineering specification development and writing, including:

electrical engineering specifications encompassing:

purpose and nature of specification

performance-based specifications

prescriptive specifications

acceptable evidence of compliance

additional service required with the supply of equipment

dealing with suppliers and manufacturers encompassing:

documenting specification

customer/client relations encompassing:

importance of customer/client relations

interpersonal skills that enhance customer/client relationships

dispute resolution

customer/client relations strategies

basic computer functions encompassing:

starting up

selecting application

entering information

saving

printing

research skills encompassing:

terminology - terminology used in a research workplace and terminology used in research-specific literature

theory – why conduct research - the history of research, past research successes, past research failures, research protocols and research practices

the research environment - the research work environment; standard research practices; industrial, legal, ethical, political and market environment considerations; legislation and regulation; and contractual obligations of all parties

planning to conduct research - concept development and/or research brief analysis; research objectives; research deliverables; research project plan; literature reviews; methodology development, including experimental design, technology selection and information management system selection

clients - identifying client viewpoints and stake in project; identifying client requirements and parameters; determining research budgets, timelines, milestones and quality attributes with clients

research, development and commercialisation - research and development goals versus commercialisation goals and realities; research and development to inspire a commercialisation process

relevant manufacturer specifications

relevant safe work method statements (SWMS)/job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes

relevant scenarios/requirements

relevant techniques for specification writing

relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements

relevant workplace instructions, policies and procedures.

Range Statement

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.

Developing specifications must include at least one medium-sized electrical engineering project with the following attributes:

safety requirements met

client expectations established

cost-effective solutions pursued and assured

design and technical requirements documented
