Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements 

Performance Criteria 

Elements describe the essential outcomes

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section

1. Plan and prepare

1.1 Work instructions and specifications are identified and confirmed

1.2 Tools and equipment for the job are inspected and faults are rectified or reported

1.3 Materials list is interpreted and materials are selected and prepared

2. Shift and mount engine

2.1 Workplace procedures  are identified and followed

2.2 Engine is transferred from assembly line to the engine testing area

2.3 Engine is mounted in engine testing cradle for hot test procedures

3. Hot test engine

3.1 Services are connected to the engine, simulating normal operating conditions, and engine is brought to hot operating conditions

3.2 Mechanical, sensory and electronic scan tool tests are conducted and results are compared against performance specifications

3.3 Minor modifications are carried out according to workplace procedures

3.4 Test results are recorded and documented

3.5 Engine is designated as conforming or requiring rectification, and is labelled and prepared for transfer to assembly line or engine rectification area

4. Complete work processes

4.1 Workplace documentation is completed

4.2 Work area is cleaned and materials disposed of, reused or recycled according to workplace procedures

4.3 Tools and equipment are cleaned, checked, maintained and stored according to workplace procedures

Foundation Skills

This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance.

Performance Evidence

Before competency can be determined, individuals must have competently conducted an engine hot test on a minimum of three occasions.

Individuals must demonstrate they can:

  • interpret and apply job specifications and work instructions when conducting engine hot test
  • apply quality requirements when conducting engine hot test
  • use tools and equipment safely when conducting engine hot test
  • use engine hot test procedures to identify non-conforming engine faults, using electronic scan tools, mechanical and sensory tests, following work health and safety (WHS) requirements and workplace procedures
  • complete workplace test records and documents.

Knowledge Evidence

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

  • WHS requirements and workplace procedures for conducting hot engine tests
  • workplace production quality standards
  • manufacturing and production techniques for engines
  • engine testing terminology
  • types and uses of engine test tools and equipment
  • engine faults and symptoms
  • engine parts and construction
  • engine testing techniques and equipment
  • processes for calculating material requirements.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must satisfy SNR/AQTF assessor requirements and relevant vehicle operating licences.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the vehicles on which they have worked, e.g. work sheets.

Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

The following resources must be made available:

  • automotive workplace or simulated workshop
  • workplace procedures to conduct hot engine tests
  • work instructions for conducting hot engine tests
  • tools, equipment and machinery required to conduct an engine hot test
  • engines requiring hot engine tests and engine manufacturer specifications
  • engine test cradle or workplace equivalent.
