Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to undertake a range of mechanical engineering-related analyses that relate to design, fitness for purpose evaluations, installation and commissioning, and other mechanical engineering-related tasks, including documentation of the design process. Documentation may include calculations, specifications, computer-aided design (CAD) files, risk analysis, sustainability and life cycle assessments. It is suitable for people working at a technician level in a mechanical engineering work environment and applies to people working individually or as part of a team.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
