Apply mathematical techniques in a manufacturing engineering or related environment

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

Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

1. Use concepts of arithmetic in the solution of engineering problems

1.1. Units of physical quantities are converted to facilitate engineering calculations.

1.2. Calculations are performed to solve problems involving rational and irrational numbers.

1.3. Scientific notation is used to represent numbers.

1.4. Calculations are checked for reasonableness using estimating and approximating techniques.

2. Solve engineering problems involving algebraic expressions with one independent variable

2.1. Algebraic expressions are manipulated using mathematical operations in their correct order.

3. Use two-dimensional geometry to solve practical problems

3.1. Angles expressed in degrees are correctly converted to radians and vice versa.

3.2. The perimeter, area, length and angles of a range of two-dimensional figures are correctly calculated.

3.3. The volume and surface area of complex figures are correctly calculated.

3.4. Points identified in terms of cartesian coordinates can be converted to polar coordinates and vice versa.

4. Use trigonometry to solve practical problems

4.1. Basic trigonometry functions are used to calculate the lengths of the sides of right-angled triangles.

4.2. Inverse trigonometry functions are used to determine angles in a right-angled triangle given the lengths of two sides.

4.3. The sine rule is used to determine the lengths of the sides of acute and obtuse angled triangles given one side and two angles.

4.4. The cosine rule is used to determine the lengths of the sides of acute and obtuse angled triangles given two sides and one angle.

5. Graph linear functions

5.1. Linear functions are solved graphically and equations of straight lines are determined from the slope and one point, or two points.

5.2. Two linear functions are solved simultaneously both algebraically and geometrically.
