Write specifications for electrotechnology engineering projects

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 UEECD0060, 'Write specifications for electrotechnology engineering projects'.
Google Links

Books
Reference books for 'Write specifications for electrotechnology engineering projects' 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

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

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

1

Prepare engineering specification requirements

1.1

Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) processes and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and applied

1.2

Engineering techniques for specification writing are reviewed and implemented in accordance with workplace procedures

1.3

Scope of the engineering specification is identified using a formal evaluation/survey process

1.4

Related works impacting on the specification are determined from relevant documentation, site visits and/or discussion with relevant person/s

2

Write engineering specification

2.1

Engineering specification scenarios/requirements are developed in consultation with relevant person/s in accordance with relevant industry standards

2.2

Engineering specification is developed in collaboration with relevant design professionals and contractors involved in the project

2.3

Relevant person/s required for the project is identified and roles specified in the specification

2.4

Engineering specification is reviewed with inputs and adjusted to rectify any anomalies

2.5

Engineering specification is developed in accordance with workplace procedures

3

Obtain approval of specification

3.1

Engineering specification is presented and discussed with relevant person/s

3.2

Alterations to the engineering specification are negotiated with relevant person/s in accordance with workplace procedures

3.3

Specification is finalised and approval obtained from relevant person/s
