Overview

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to develop structured programs to control an external device.It includes identifying and developing structured programs for control sub-systems. It also includes testing and documenting structured programs for control sub-systems.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce & extend knowledge and skill competence within set & controlled parameters in accordance with each unit's learning outcomes & 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:

  • applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including implementing risk control measures
  • dealing with unplanned events/situations in accordance with workplace procedures in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment
  • developing testing procedures
  • identifying and correcting anomalies in programs
  • identifying and developing structured programs for control sub-systems
  • meeting scheduled timeframes
  • producing relevant documentation
  • testing and documenting structured programs for control sub-systems
  • using functions of relevant programming languages
  • working with relevant person/s.

Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:

  • control applications of software
  • software terminology
  • programming languages currently used by industry
  • program development
