UEECS0017 — Develop industrial control programs for microcomputer equipped devices

1 Prepare microcomputer equipped devices

• 1.1Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) processes and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and applied
• 1.2WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures are followed in preparation for the work
• 1.3Scope of development work is determined from design brief and in consultation with relevant person/s
• 1.4Development work is planned in accordance with workplace procedures for timelines in consultation with others involved
• 1.5Development tools and software are selected based on design brief requirements and performance standards
• 1.6Materials and devices/components required for the work are selected on compatibility of control program and in accordance with design brief and project budget
• 1.7Activities are implemented to ensure development work is carried out efficiently

2 Develop devices, circuits and control programs

• 2.1WHS/OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out the work are followed
• 2.2Knowledge of computer-equipped devices and systems and compliance standards are applied to the design
• 2.3Alternative arrangements for the development are evaluated in accordance with the design brief
• 2.4Safety, functional and budget considerations are in accordance with design
• 2.5Prototype devices and circuits are constructed and tested in accordance with the design brief and relevant industry standards
• 2.6Programming language code functions and features in current use are applied to developing control programs
• 2.7Prototype malfunctions are identified, rectified and re-tested in accordance with workplace procedures and design brief
• 2.8Program development is documented and submitted to appropriate person/s for approval
• 2.9Unplanned events are identified and resolution techniques are applied in accordance with workplace procedures
• 2.10Quality of work is monitored in accordance with workplace procedures and/or relevant industry standards

3 Evaluate and complete documentation

• 3.1Testing and workplace procedures are developed to evaluate control program in accordance with workplace procedures
• 3.2Problems and errors in program are identified and rectified in accordance with workplace procedures and design brief
• 3.3Intermediate and final work reports are completed in accordance with workplace procedures and presented to relevant person/s

What does an assessment tool for UEECS0017 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for UEECS0017 needs to address all 45 unit components: 3 elements with 20 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 16 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 UEECS0017?

Auditori pulls the current release of UEECS0017 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 UEECS0017 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing UEECS0017 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 UEECS0017, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
