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
- Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver MEM234007A, 'Design fluid power systems'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Design fluid power systems' 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
1 | Interpret design brief for fluid power systems | 1.1 | Confirm the design brief and operational requirements with the client |

1.3 | Determine stakeholders to be consulted in design process | ||
1.4 | Consider regulatory, sustainability or environmental issues relevant to the briefs | ||
1.5 | Provide preliminary advice to client on the feasibility for realising the fluid power system design |
2 | Prepare concept proposal | 2.1 | Analyse and establish worksite requirements for fluid power system realisation in conjunction with the client |
2.2 | Undertake initial design investigations for fluid power system capacity and responsiveness | ||
2.3 | Carry out required modelling, simulation and calculations using appropriate software, and test equipment to determine fluid power system, function, behaviour and safety | ||
2.4 | Generate a range of possible solutions to the design | ||
2.5 | Check feasibility and validate solutions against design criteria ensuring conformity to OHS requirements and relevant standards | ||
2.6 | Determine social and sustainability implications of solutions | ||
2.7 | Review concept proposals with client to identify preferred solution |
3 | Design fluid power system | 3.1 | Develop selected fluid power design to meet specifications, including dimensioning, sizing and positioning of system components |
3.2 | Evaluate sequence and mode control methods for multi-actuator circuit, stand alone and network designs for implementation | ||
3.3 | Determine options for design of compressed air supply for a multi-application facility, if applicable | ||
3.4 | Ensure that design solution is optimised with respect to the system specifications | ||
3.5 | Develop fluid power design documentation, including drawings, circuit diagrams, specifications, operating instructions, manuals and training materials, if appropriate | ||
3.6 | Check that the final design meets all required specifications and operational capabilities | ||
3.7 | Consult with client and stakeholders to obtain sign-off on design |
