Perform basic marine engineering calculations

Formats and tools

Unit Description
Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
Assessment Tool
an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
Assessment Template
generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
Assessment Matrix
a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
Wiki Markup
mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
Evidence Guide
create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
Competency Mapping Template
Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
Observation Checklist
create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)

Self Assessment Survey
A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
Moodle Outcomes
Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
Registered Training Organisations

Books
Reference books for 'Perform basic marine engineering calculations' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)


Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

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

1

Apply mathematical formulae to solve marine engineering problems

1.1

Proportions, variation, percentages and averages are calculated, and method of unity is applied

1.2

Problems involving the manipulation of indices are solved

1.3

Written descriptions of actual or hypothetical marine engineering problems are expressed in mathematical terms

1.4

Algebraic formulae and equations are manipulated to change subjects, as and when required

1.5

Index problems are converted to logarithmic problems, and vice versa, according to the Law of Logarithms

1.6

Calculator is used to resolve marine engineering problems

2

Calculate areas, volumes and masses of regular and irregular figures

2.1

Problems related to areas and volumes of regular geometric figures are solved using standard formulae

2.2

Problems relating to surface areas and volumes of circular figures are solved

2.3

Centres of gravity and centroids of area are found for both line figures and areas

2.4

Concept of density is applied to calculate masses

3

Apply trigonometry to solve problems relating to angular measurement and the resolution of vectors

3.1

Basic trigonometric ratios of sine, cosine and tangent, together with their reciprocals are explained with respect to the sides of a right-angled triangle

3.2

Pythagoras’ Theorem is proved

3.3

Problems associated with single angle trigonometric identities including those derived from the application of Pythagoras’ Theorem to the basic sin, cos and tan identities are solved

3.4

Derivation of multiple, double and half angle trigonometric identities are shown and used to simplify complicated trigonometric expressions and identities

3.5

Sine Rule and Cosine Rule for solution of triangles are proved and applied
