Case for Endorsement –

MEM05v9 Metal and Engineering Training Package

Overview

Components for endorsement

This Case for Endorsement seeks approval by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) of the

following changes/additions to the MEM05 Metal and Engineering Training Package:

1. 74 new MEM units of competency

2. 32 existing MEM units replaced/not carried forward

3. Three updated qualifications with inclusion of a wide range of additional electives:

MEM50212 Diploma of Engineering – Technical

MEM60112 Advanced Diploma of Engineering

MEM80112 Vocational Graduate Diploma of Engineering

A complete list of all qualifications and units of competency submitted for endorsement is provided

in Appendix 1 of this submission.

Project background

The Metal and Engineering Training Package qualifications for engineering technicians and

paraprofessionals were first endorsed in 2005, and cover the four engineering disciplines of

mechanical, mechatronic, manufacturing and maintenance engineering.

Since endorsement of MEM05 Metal and Engineering Training Package, technology has advanced

and it was identified in the MSA Continuous Improvement Plan in 2009 that there was a need to

develop new units and update many individual units in the technician/paraprofessional

qualifications. As well, MSA received requests to develop units in additional areas of technology,

such as rapid manufacturing and heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC/R).

The new units have been included as additional electives, with no change to the packaging rules. All

the MEM05 Metal and Engineering Training Package qualifications will be reviewed in 2013 as part

of the MEM05 review/streamlining project which commenced August 2012.

Section 1: Responsiveness and recognition

Industry drivers for change

In response to industry identified needs, MSA has progressively updated the Diploma and Advanced

Diploma qualifications, with the inclusion of additional electives endorsed in 2009-11 (MEM50211

and MEM60111), and developed of a Vocational Graduate Diploma (MEM80111 Vocational

Graduate Diploma of Engineering).

A further driver for development of the units submitted for endorsement has been the need to

improve the coverage of engineering science and mathematics. This is in response to feedback from

industry and providers that the current units in some cases lacked sufficient detail to ensure a logical

selection process and did not provide sufficient clarity on content for VET providers applying for

articulation to universities. The new/revised units of competency address the above content

improvements.

In addition to the 73 new technician units, one new unit of competency has been developed in

response to an approach from Sutton Tools (Maryborough in Victoria) in conjunction with Bendigo

TAFE in 2011, to address the need for a new unit of competency for developing production

machining skills for training existing workers in complex machine setting skills. Sutton Tools is one of

the world’s largest independent family owned cutting tool companies producing high-quality

precision cutting tools for the industrial, trade and DIY markets. Sutton Tools is one of three

companies chosen to feature in this year’s Australian Made, Australian Grown (AMAG) ‘Keep

Australians Working’ campaign. This new unit of competency will typically apply to senior operators

undertaking volume production who have responsibility for machine set up to defined parameters,

selection of materials and lubricants, establishment of datum points and basic marking out, as well

as setting speeds, feeds and other machining parameters. This unit will be a new elective in the

MEM20205 Certificate II in Engineering - Production Technology and MEM30105 Certificate III in

Engineering - Production Systems and other qualifications requiring production machining skills.

Project management

The development work has been undertaken for MSA by Richard Jenkins and Associates (RJA) with

initial scoping and unit review undertaken by Kevin Clayton.

The project was managed by Barbara Wallace (MSA Training Products Manager) and overseen by the

MSA Metal and Engineering Board Sub-Committee, made up of major stakeholders. The terms of

reference for the Board Sub-committee are to:

All currently endorsed units of competency were initially reviewed against developments in

technology and changes in Training Package policy since first endorsement in 2005.

Following a lengthy consultation and development phase, initial drafts of the new/revised units of

competency were circulated for public comment by email, and were made available on the MSA

website in mid 2012, with feedback required by August 2012.

Stakeholders were advised by email and by telephone about how to access the site and provide

feedback. This included industry stakeholders on the MSA and RJA databases, state and territory

ITABs and STAs.

Feedback from consultations on the initial draft reviewed units indicated that additional units were

required in the areas of HVAC/R and also in configuration management, integrated logistics support

and systems engineering. Drafts of these units were made available end of August 2012.

Changes resulting from initial quality review and stakeholder feedback were incorporated in the final

endorsement drafts, which were circulated and signed-off by major stakeholders in September 2012.

MSA is not aware of any unresolved issues concerning this submission.

Section 2: Quality principles

Quality assurance

The final drafts of the updated qualifications and new units of competency have been validated and

signed-off by all major stakeholders (both industry and RTOs) with no outstanding or unresolved

issues. Validation and acceptance of final drafts was undertaken by email.

In developing the updated qualifications and new units of competency, the following quality issues

have been addressed:

all development was based on workplace requirements and the needs of individuals and

enterprises

all development work was undertaken in compliance with Training Package Development

Handbook and are compliant with TGA templates

all units of competency have been reviewed for plain English, consistency and inclusion of

Employability Skills relevant to this sector

packaging rules have been developed to ensure they are flexible and meet AQF and NSSC

requirements.

Editing and quality assurance advice was provided for early drafts, and final editing, equity and

quality assurance reviews were undertaken.

Quality Report

A provisional evaluation of the units submitted for endorsement was undertaken by Andre Lewis

and Associates. The evaluation indicated that there were no obvious quality issues that would

impede endorsement after editing and equity evaluations had been completed. The evaluation

commented that the higher level technical nature of the units is addressed well with good

integration of theory with required performance.

The evaluation noted some minor issues which have been addressed, as listed below.

Some performance criteria were not sufficiently clear or assessable. In response, all performance criteria were reviewed and a small number were adjusted while explanations on others were given to the evaluator’s satisfaction.

References to OHS were changed to WHS (Workplace Health and Safety) to reflect most states and territories adopting model WHS legislation.

References to seeking additional technical and professional assistance were standardised. Clarification was also provided to the evaluator that this assistance is not always sought as at this technical level it is at the discretion of the learner.

The evaluator sought an explanation as to why some units referred to seeking assistance of a licensed person while other units only referred generally to technical and professional assistance. It was explained that the licensed reference related to some units in the mechatronics discipline where the assistance of a licensed electrician may be required depending on the technical task. Assistance from licensed personnel would not be normally required in the other engineering disciplines.

Manufacturing Skills Australia

MEM05v9 Case for Endorsement – modified for publication December 2012 8

Clarification was provided on the relationship between design and detail drafting and why the detail drafting units in the MEM40412 Certificate IV in Engineering Drafting were not prerequisites to the design units.

No issues requiring action were raised in the final quality report.

Editing

All qualifications and units of competency were reviewed and edited by Gamper Consulting Services.

Equity review

An equity review was undertaken by Barbara Wallace, MSA Training Products Manager.

The final Quality Report, Editorial Report and Equity Report are provided as separate documents.

Section 3: Impact of changes

Summary of changes – qualifications

The new technician units of competency have been made available as electives in the following

qualifications:

MEM05v8 qualification MEM05v9 qualification Comment/ equivalence

MEM50211 Diploma of Engineering – Technical

MEM50212 Diploma of Engineering – Technical

Elective units replaced New elective units added Equivalent – increased choice of electives

MEM60111 Advanced Diploma of Engineering

MEM60112 Advanced Diploma of Engineering

Elective units replaced New elective units added Equivalent – increased choice of electives

MEM80111 Vocational Graduate Diploma of Engineering

MEM80112 Vocational Graduate Diploma of Engineering

Elective units replaced New elective units added Equivalent – increased choice of electives

Pathways

Consultation with training providers indicated that the MEM50211 Diploma of Engineering –

Technical and MEM60111 Advanced Diploma of Engineering are primarily delivered full time to

school leavers with many students seeking careers as technicians in a wider range of industries,

including manufacturing, transport, mining and healthcare. The MEM05 Metal and Engineering

Training Package qualifications also provide a pathway into professional engineering via articulation

into engineering degrees. The articulation varies according to each university and the particular

electives completed by a student. Extensive consultation was undertaken with Engineers Australia to

ensure that the new units have the potential to maximise articulation.

The MEM05 Diploma and Advanced Diploma qualifications also provide a pathway for many existing

employees, especially tradespersons, to progress their career by studying to become a technician. In

some areas, such as drafting and maintenance engineering, this is a common pathway. The project

paid particular attention to content of units to ensure that unnecessary barriers to access by

tradespersons were not established.

The new units of competency provide substantial detail on the skills required at technician and

paraprofessional occupation levels in the mechanical, mechatronic, manufacturing, maintenance

and HVAC/R disciplines. In many units the content difference to currently endorsed units will be

substantial especially in regards to required knowledge. While this will lead to some revision of

learning resources by providers, RTO’s have generally welcomed the changes for the greater

guidance provided on the content and application of each unit.

Once endorsed, it is anticipated that the new units of competency will enable the replacement of

current state accredited courses in Victoria and South Australia in the mechanical, mechatronic,

Page 12: Manufacturing Skills Australia Case for... · and it was identified in the MSA Continuous Improvement Plan in 2009 that there was a need to ... Ismat Hijazin Faculty of ... Manufacturing

Manufacturing Skills Australia

MEM05v9 Case for Endorsement – modified for publication December 2012 10

maintenance, manufacturing and HVAC/R disciplines. However, the current state accredited courses

are likely to remain accredited to allow for ongoing delivery in the civil engineering discipline which

is outside MSA’s coverage.

Impact of newly endorsed components

The changes will not cause significant impacts to RTOs delivering the existing qualifications. A

detailed mapping has been provided with equivalences identified in the Training Package

endorsement details attachment (provided separately).

The range of electives has been increased for the following engineering disciplines:

Manufacturing

Mechanical

Mechatronic

Maintenance

Heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC/R).

Implementation of the updated qualifications is expected in all states and territories. STAs, RTOs and

industry stakeholders have been consulted during the development process and have been kept

informed of the changes. MSA is not aware of any issues that need addressing to ensure successful

implementation. It is expected RTOs with scope of the existing MEM05 Metal and Engineering

Training Package qualifications will be seek extension of scope for the revised qualifications.

Final approval – endorsed components

Industry and RTOs

The final drafts of the updated qualifications and new units of competency have been validated and

approved by all major stakeholders. This included the MSA Board Sub-committee, the MSA Board,

industry representatives, state and territory ITABs and RTOs. No issues affecting implementation

have been raised that required action and all major stakeholders have provided unanimous support

for endorsement of the MEM05 Metal and Engineering Training Package (version 9) qualifications

and units of competency.

State and Territory Training Authorities

STAs were provided with an opportunity to evaluate the draft units and qualifications when the

validation drafts were distributed in August 2012.

The draft Case for Endorsement was also forwarded to STAs by email on 28 September, with a

deadline of 14 October 2012 for feedback. Comments were received regarding the inclusion of

superseded MSACM units in the updated MEM qualifications. MSA advised that replacement of

imported units in MEM qualifications required review and agreement from the industrial parties and

that this was being considered separately. Imported units will be updated as an ISC upgrade once

agreement has been reached. This doesn’t impact on the current units being submitted for

endorsement.

The draft Case for Endorsement and all endorsed components were available on the MSA website

during this period. MSA is not aware of any unresolved issues and is confident that the new units of

competency have full support of all major stakeholders.
