Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to apply calculus, including differentiation and integration techniques, to engineering applications. Engineering applications requiring calculus techniques may include determining the point of maximum bending moment, slope and deflection for a beam, determining the depth of parabolic mirrors or determining moments of inertia of a range of engineering components and solving rectilinear motion problems.The unit applies to engineering or related activities and is suitable for people giving technical support to design, operations or maintenance activities and those pursuing technical qualifications and careers at paraprofessional or technician level.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Determine scope of calculus techniques required for an engineering application
  • 1.1 Analyse an engineering application for required calculus tasks
  • 1.2 Develop systematic methods for layout and solution validation, including any required external sign-off of solution
  • 1.3 Identify calculus technique and any software required for analysis and resolution of identified engineering application tasks
  • 1.4 Identify required sources for professional and technical assistance
2. Apply differential and integration techniques to engineering applications
  • 2.1 Apply standard differentiation and integration rules to solve engineering problems
  • 2.2 Check solution is laid out in a correct manner and is error free
  • 2.3 Review solution to ensure it provides information relevant to resolution of engineering application task
  • 2.4 Report results and document calculations, graphs and analysis
