Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package. |
Application
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to provide engineering solutions for uses of materials and thermodynamic effects. It includes selecting and using appropriate materials and dealing with thermodynamic effects relative to an engineering problem. It also includes using measuring instruments, applying appropriate theorems, and providing solutions derived from measurements and calculations and justification for engineering solutions. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. |
