Design and develop electronics/computer systems 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 UEEEC0011, 'Design and develop electronics/computer systems projects'.
Google Links
links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
Books
Reference books for 'Design and develop electronics/computer systems 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

Identify electronics/computer system project 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

Hazards are identified, WHS/OHS risks are assessed, control measures and workplace procedures are implemented in preparation for work

1.3

Scope of proposed project design/development work is determined from design brief in consultation with appropriate person/s

1.4

Project work is planned to meet scheduled timelines in consultation with others involved on the worksite

1.5

Resources required for work are selected based on compatibility with project requirements and budget constraints

1.6

Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to carry out work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety

2

Design and develop electronics/computer system

2.1

WHS/OHS risk control work measures and workplace procedures are followed

2.2

Electronics/computer devices and systems and industry standards are applied to the design specifications

2.3

Alternative designs are considered based on the design brief

2.4

Safety, functional and budget considerations are incorporated in the design

2.5

Electronic/computer hardware and/or software systems are constructed and tested for compliance with design brief and regulatory requirements

2.6

Electronic/computer faults are rectified and retested to ensure effective operation of design

2.7

Project design specifications are documented for submission to appropriate person/s for approval

2.8

Solutions to unplanned situations are implemented in accordance with workplace policy

3

Obtain approval for electronics/computer system

3.1

Electronic/computer system design is presented and explained to client representative and/or relevant person/s

3.2

Modifications to design are negotiated with relevant person/s within the constraints of workplace policy

3.3

Final project design is documented and approval obtained from appropriate person/s

3.4

Quality of work is monitored against performance agreement and/or workplace or industry standards
