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 NWP559, 'Apply principles of mechanics to engineering problems'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Apply principles of mechanics to engineering problems' 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 Identify mechanic principles embedded in an engineering problem | 1.1 Determine the engineering problem through requests, design briefs or equivalent and clarify with appropriate personnel. 1.2 Seek expert advice with respect to the engineering problem and according to enterprise procedures. 1.3 Obtain resources needed for the task in accordance with enterprise procedures and check for correct operation and safety. 1.4 Consult appropriate personnel to ensure the work is co-ordinated effectively with others involved at the work site. |
2 Apply principles of mechanics in the analysis or design of an engineering solution | 2.1 Interpret and apply industry codes, regulations and technical documentation relevant to the engineering problem. 2.2 Identify and use sources of computational data. 2.3 Make and record appropriate assumptions underlying the engineering problem. 2.4 Select the most appropriate analytical, computational or design methodology. |
3 Verify, document and interpret outcomes | 3.1 Record and document results of the analysis or design in accordance with requirements and enterprise procedures. 3.2 Present results as required from initial request or brief. 3.3 Discuss and verify outcomes of analysis or design with appropriate personnel. |
