MEM23138 — Evaluate suitability of materials for engineering-related applications

1 Determine scope of materials evaluation

• 1.1Identify materials to be evaluated and their related manufacturing or engineering-related applications
• 1.2Confirm stakeholders to be consulted on the evaluation
• 1.3Confirm appropriate support, including technical and professional assistance, is available
• 1.4Identify relevant work health and safety (WHS) and regulatory requirements, standards, codes of practice, risk management and organisational procedures

2 Prepare for evaluation

• 2.1Review design information about related products and processes for material specifications
• 2.2Identify analysis principles and techniques relevant to the materials, processes, services, plant and tooling covered by the evaluation
• 2.3Identify appropriate analysis software and software validation techniques
• 2.4Investigate sustainability implications of materials and related manufacturing or engineering processes

3 Evaluate materials and processes for an application

• 3.1Determine properties of materials under evaluation, and supervise any required tests
• 3.2Assess materials and related processes for compliance with WHS and other regulatory and risk management requirements
• 3.3Assess material, product and processes for sustainability
• 3.4Review materials for product and process suitability and process optimisation
• 3.5Apply systems thinking, continuous improvement, problem-solving and decision-making, and constraint and contingency management principles and techniques to evaluation

4 Report results

• 4.1Record results of evaluation
• 4.2Provide documentation including tool, product and process analysis, and computer-aided design (CAD) files

What does an assessment tool for MEM23138 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM23138 needs to address all 53 unit components: 4 elements with 15 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 31 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for MEM23138?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM23138 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for MEM23138 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM23138 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of MEM23138, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
