Practical project instructions<br />

The task requires the candidate to demonstrate a significant contribution to a review of an<br />

engineering process or product component in their work environment. The aim of the review is<br />

to improve the quality and efficiency of the process or product component by assessing its<br />

design, researching options for improvement, researching materials, creating design drawings,<br />

and selecting the appropriate materials and resources.<br />

Design, development and improvement activities may be applied in the selection and<br />

implementation of software, test equipment, materials, components and systems, support<br />

structures, power supply and control, data collection and supervisory systems.<br />

This task is divided into steps. The candidate is required to:<br />

Step 1<br />

Consult with you, the Assessor, and/or workplace supervisor to select the process or product<br />

component to be reviewed.<br />

Step 2<br />

Research options for improvement and identify and clarify design requirements.<br />

Step 3<br />

Research to select the resources, skills, knowledge and techniques required for the task, and<br />

identify the sources of information.<br />

Step 4<br />

With the help of others, identify control and supervisory systems if required.<br />

Step 5<br />

Specify the resources and technical support required by applying and/or checking against:<br />

� appropriate basic scientific principles and techniques<br />

� appropriate assumptions and calculations<br />

� material properties, methods and process knowledge<br />

� functional or performance specifications of the system or component.<br />

Step 6<br />

Contribute to the full design process by creating documentation, graphics and specifications<br />

representing the design requirements.<br />

Step 7<br />

Confirm the suitability of the design with client or organisation.<br />

Step 8<br />
