Grade Descriptor

Indicative characteristic/s

Contextualisation

M1

Identify and apply strategies to find appropriate solutions

Complex information/data has been synthesised and processed.

Complex information has been used to determine the potential failure point of the engineering system. The data has been used correctly to obtain an accurate solution. Appropriate method and technique has been demonstrated. (Task 3)

M2

Select/design and apply appropriate methods/techniques

A range of methods and techniques have been applied.

Consideration has been given to the selection of CM techniques and application to an engineering system. Reasoned judgements are made about the factors affecting the positioning of sensors. Strategies have been applied to find the appropriate solution. (Task 2)

M3

Present and communicate appropriate findings

A range of methods of presentation have been used and technical language has been accurately used.

The slides prepared have an appropriate structure and approach to demonstrate how a solution has be obtained to the problem posed by the assignment scenario (figure 1). The materials have been prepared, present and communicate at the appropriate technical level. (Task 7)

D1

Use critical reflection to evaluate own work and justify valid conclusions

Realistic improvements have been proposed against defined characteristics for success.

The application of the proposed CM system design meets the defined criteria. (Task 7)

D2

Take responsibility for managing and organising activities

Substantial activities, projects or investigations have been planned, managed and organised.

The Gantt Chart is been developed to show a realistic plan and is annotated to show progress made. The assignment has been completed on time. Autonomy has been demonstrated and deadlines met independently. (Task 8)

D3

Demonstrate convergent/lateral/creative thinking

Problems have been solved.

Decisions have been taken and appropriate techniques have been used to analyse the current system CM data. (Task 6)
