Assessment Criteria Judgement is displayed by the following performance 9.1 State the factors applicable to the work, their interrelationship and how you applied the most important factors. 9.2 Describe how you foresaw work consequences and evaluated situations in the absence of full evidence. 9.1 The extent of a projector task given to a junior Engineering Technician is characterised by the limited number of factors and their resulting interdependence. The Engineering Technician will seek advice if educational and/or experiential limitations are exceeded. Examples of the main engineering factors applied must be given. 9.2 Taking risky decisions will lead to equipment failure, excessive installation and maintenance costs, damage to persons and property, etc. Give examples. Range Statement for outcomes 8 and 9:Judgement in decision-making involves a) accounting for limited risk factors, some of which maybe ill-defined; b) accounting for consequences in the immediate work context or c) accounting for an identified set of interested and affected parties with defined needs. In engineering, approximately 10% of the activities can be classified as well-defined and for these, the Engineering Technician uses standard procedures, codes of practice, specifications, etc. Judgement must be displayed to identify any activity that falls outside the well-defined range (defined above a) Advice is sought when risk factors exceed his/her capability b) Consequences outside the immediate work contexts (e.g. long-term) are not normally handled. c) Interested and affected parties with defined needs outside the well-defined parameters are taken into account. Outcome 10: Be responsible for making decisions on part or all of one or more well-defined engineering activities Responsibility Level E Responsible means legally or morally liable for carrying out a duty for the care of something or somebody in a position where one maybe blamed for loss, failure.
