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 MSATCS502A, 'Detail structural steel members'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Detail structural steel members' 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
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Detail beams | 1.1. Location and number of beams are identified from design information 1.2. Beam direction marks are inserted according to industry practice or specific project needs 1.3. Beam dimensions are obtained from design information and inserted into shop drawings 1.4. Beam section designation and cut length are inserted into elevation detail and material list along with any general notes 1.5. Beam levels and beam erection marks and erection clearances are inserted 1.6. Any surface treatment notes are inserted as per design information |
2. Detail columns | 2.1. Timing and process for detailing of columns is discussed with fabricator to ensure suitability for fabrication schedules 2.2. Column design information is analysed to identify all column connections 2.3. Vertical or horizontal detailing position and viewing direction is elected to suit client requirements and drawing office practice 2.4. Dimensions for columns are inserted from design information 2.5. Sectional views for splices are drawn as per design information 2.6. Plan views for intermediate sections are drawn to illustrate required connections 2.7. Direction and level marks as well as shim and lifting hitches are inserted as required according to design information |
3. Detail beam and column splices | 3.1. Welded and bolted splices are identified from design information 3.2. Splices to be field welded are identified and checked with fabricator 3.3. Access for welder and electrode is considered for field welded splices 3.4. Column or beam splice is detailed according to design information |
4. Detail trusses | 4.1. Working points and bevels are established from design information 4.2. Layouts for joints are drawn using appropriate scale 4.3. Opportunities for symmetry and rotation are noted and used in layouts with approval of fabricator 4.4. Trusses are dimensioned including placement of working dimensions, intermediate panel points, other reference points and camber allowances for cambered trusses 4.5. Bolted gussets for node points are set out using design information and fabricator preferences 4.6. Node points for welded trusses are detailed including set back of member ends and landing for welds using design information and fabricator preferences |
5. Detail bracing | 5.1. Layout and size of bracing are determined from design information 5.2. Setting out points and distances between setting out points are determined 5.3. Braces are detailed including bracing connections, allowances for clearances and draw if any |
6. Detail purlins, girts and eaves struts | 6.1. Layout and type of purlins, girts and eave struts to be used is determined from design information, manufacturers' catalogues and fabricator preferences 6.2. Bridging for purlins and girts is determined from design information 6.3. Purlins, girts and eaves are detailed consistent with design information |
