Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to represent the design of avionic engineering products, processes, systems or services using appropriate graphical techniques, specifications and documentation. Work would typically be carried out as part of a design or engineering support team.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Clarify product, process, system or service design requirements
- 1.1 Discuss and clarify design specification of the required product, process, system or service is discussed with the client and design team
2 Apply graphical techniques to produce the initial product, process, system or service design representation
- 2.1 Confirm initial graphical representation satisfies the design specification, manufacturing and operational requirements, safety and related standards
- 2.2 Perform engineering calculations using engineering references, standards and codes appropriately to determine dimensions, limits and fits, surface textures, datum references and geometric tolerances
- 2.3 Identify materials, manufacturing methods and processes of initial design representation
- 2.4 Prepare initial production graphics, specifications and operating and maintenance instructions/manuals in accordance with the agreed design concept and organisational requirements using chosen graphical techniques
3 Validate the product, process, system or service representation
- 3.1 Confirm suitability of the product, process, system or service design graphical representation with the client, other team members and organisational requirements
4 Develop, validate, implement and file design graphics and specifications and procedural documentation
- 4.1 Prepare design graphics, specifications and instructions for the product, process, system or service in accordance with the agreed design concept and organisational requirements and incorporate feedback on initial design graphics and documents
- 4.2 Check production graphics, specifications and instructions for the product, process, system or service with the client, design team and other affected persons for suitability prior to implementation
- 4.3 Respond to implementation installation and commissioning feedback in accordance with organisational requirements
- 4.4 Maintain validated production graphics, specifications instructions for the product process, system or service are throughout the implementation, installation and commissioning processes, and process and file in accordance with organisational requirements
Graphical representation
Graphical representation may include:
manual or CAD software and techniques, such as:
sketching and layout techniques
reading
interpreting of drawings
documentation and design briefs
use of organisation protocols for graphics development
use of industry standards and codes of practice
multimedia presentation techniques
basic software customisation techniques
3D and orthographic techniques
basic file management techniques
Design graphics, specifications and instructions
Design graphics, specifications and instructions may include:
those prescribed within the organisation’s policies and procedures
those required by relevant statutory regulations and requirements

Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to represent the design of avionic engineering products, processes, systems or services for a range of engineering applications. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.
Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor’s reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.
The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.
Method of assessment
This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with represent the design of avionic engineering products, processes, systems or services or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.
