Overview

This unit covers fault finding, repairing faulty components,
manufacturing new parts/components, and fitting
mechanical engineering components into assemblies or subassemblies.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:

  • obtaining operational specifications for the components;
  • assessing operation against specification and identifying faults;
  • checking components visually and dimensionally against the operational specifications using work site procedures;
  • checking repaired components visually and dimensionally for conformance to specifications;
  • adjusting components to achieve conformance to specifications where appropriate;
  • selecting replacement parts which conform to specifications;
  • preparing and assembling components using appropriate fitting techniques and principles;
  • where appropriate, applying gland packing, jointing or gasket materials, using acceptable engineering practices;
  • applying appropriate lubricants to the assembly using acceptable engineering practices, where required;
  • checking components for conformance to specification;
  • where required, adjusting components to achieve conformance to specifications;
  • where required, recording any approved modifications/alterations to work site procedures;
  • inspecting the final assembly and checking conformance to operational specifications;
  • where appropriate, returning the final assembly to service in accordance with work site procedures;
  • reading, interpreting and following information on written job instructions, specifications, standard operating procedures, charts, lists, drawings and other applicable reference documents, and;
  • undertaking numerical operations, geometry and calculations/formulae within the scope of this unit.

Required reading
