Application of knowledge and skills

Graduates at this level will apply knowledge and skills to demonstrate autonomy, judgement and defined responsibility in known or changing contexts and within broad but established parameters

 

Competency-based training focuses on students’ ability to achieve learning outcomes to a specified level (ie Competent). Once the students attain this level, they receive a grade of Competent .

The assessment grades are given at USA Grading Criteria together with Australian Competency based training system,.

The assessment tasks up to diploma level is focussed on the knowledge the students needed in order to perform that work, and the abilities the students needed in order to apply their knowledge in an engineering /management, Information Technology context.

The assessments project assignments are designed to assess the candidates’ capability in feasibility investigation, scoping, establishing criteria/performance measures, assessing and reporting technical and procedural options; design and development; component, resources and materials sourcing and procurement; construction, prototyping, manufacture, testing, installation, commissioning, service provision and de-commissioning; tools, plant, equipment and facilities acquisition, management, maintenance, calibration and upgrades; operations management; procedures documentation; presentation and reporting; maintenance systems design and management; project and facility management; quality assurance, costing and budget management; document control and quality assurance in several engineering, business and information technology applications.

IQY Technical College uses continuous monitoring & assessment methods and tasks to evaluate the student’s competence in a particular unit of competence/qualification. All assessments tasks are designed in accordance to the relevant training package specifications of a qualification/unit of competence and may include assignments, practical assessments, presentation, project work, written tests or other methods deemed appropriate to assess students’ competence in carrying out tasks to a required standard.

Especially assignments/ project works are continually assessed throughout the course as the students progress in their study. For a limited circumstances, formal written tests are conducted.

The assessment tasks for advanced  diploma level is focussed on operate within broadly-defined technical  & business environments, and undertake a wide range of functions and responsibilities and specifically in its application, adaptation or management, in a variety of contexts. Their expertise often lies in familiarity with the current state of development of a business system or technology domain and most recent applications of the business and technology

The assessment tasks are designed for assessing the activities, knowledge & skills that combines the need for a strong understanding of practical situations and applications, with the intellectual challenge of keeping abreast of leading-edge developments as a specialist in a  technology or business domain and how these relate to established practice.

The assessment tasks are focussed on students’ understanding of the specific interactions with other aspects of an overall operating context and for managing the contributions of their specialist work to a broader engineering or business system or solution. The students’ focus on sustainable solutions and practices which optimise technical, social, environmental and economic outcomes within the technology or business practice domain and understanding of the standards and codes of practice that underpin the technology & business practice  domain and ensure that the performance outcomes comply with statutory requirements & relevant code of practice of business systems as well as implementation, operation, quality assurance, safety, management, and maintenance of projects, plant, facilities, or processes within specialist practice area(s) of the technology & business practice domain

IQY Technical College uses continuous monitoring & assessment  methods and tasks to evaluate the student’s competence in a particular unit of competence/qualification.

ASSESSMENT POLICY OF PROFESSIONAL DIPLOMA COURSES IN ENGINEERING,MANAGEMENT & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

The assessment tasks are designed for assessing the followings

Graduates at this level will have broad and coherent knowledge and skills for professional work and/or further learning

Knowledge

Graduates at this level will have broad and coherent theoretical and technical knowledge with depth in one or more disciplines or areas of practice

Skills

Graduates at this level will have well-developed cognitive, technical and communication skills to select and apply methods and technologies to:

·                     analyse and evaluate information to complete a range of activities

·                     analyse, generate and transmit solutions to unpredictable and sometimes complex problems

·                     transmit knowledge, skills and ideas to others

Application of knowledge and skills

Graduates at this level will apply knowledge and skills to demonstrate autonomy, well-developed judgement and responsibility:

·                     in contexts that require self-directed work and learning

·                     within broad parameters to provide specialist advice and functions

The assessment grades are given at USA Grading Criteria together with Australian Competency based training system, Test / Examination &  Project Assignments are utilized in assessment tasks.

The assessment tasks are designed to assess the candidate’s capability to take responsibility for engineering / business / IT projects and programs in the most far-reaching

sense. This includes the reliable functioning of all materials, components, sub-systems and technologies used; their integration to form a complete, sustainable and self-consistent system; and all interactions between the technical system and the context within which it functions. The latter includes understanding the requirements of clients, wide ranging stakeholders and of society as a whole; working to optimise social, environmental and economic outcomes over the full lifetime of the product or program; interacting effectively with other disciplines, professions and people; and ensuring that their work contribution is properly integrated into the totality of the undertaking.

The assessment tasks are designed for candidate’s capability in  interpreting technological possibilities to society, business and government; and for ensuring as far as possible that policy decisions are properly informed by such possibilities and consequences, and that costs, risks and limitations are properly understood as the desirable outcomes. 

 The assessment activities are also focussed on bringing knowledge to bear from multiple sources to develop solutions to complex problems and issues, for ensuring that technical and non-technical considerations are properly integrated, and for managing risk as well as sustainability issues. While the outcomes of engineering have physical forms, the work of

The students’ advancement of technologies and with the development of new technologies and their applications , new business practice through innovation, creativity and change. Professional Engineers may conduct research concerned with advancing the technology & business practice and with developing new principles and technologies within a broad technology & business practice discipline.
