Knowledge Assessment Self Review

Question: Write your material in the first-person using I or me instead of we or us statements. This makes it easy for the assessors to see what your personal contribution was. Answer: General Guidance Notes Consider each element of the knowledge profile along with the performance indicators and think about what type of evidence you can provide to demonstrate knowledge at the required level. Under each element, summarise key aspects of your academic study that contributed to the development of knowledge in that area. You should then describe at least two examples of work projects or activities that demonstrate your ability to apply that knowledge. Think of tasks where you have had to apply a high level of engineering knowledge such as some analysis that you have done, work you have done in scoping a problem and then developing a solution or design. What engineering models did you use? What assumptions were made in the development of the model and how did you test the model was relevant in the way you used it? When describing how your educational program contributed to your development, focus on the more advanced pieces of work you did, the knowledge you needed in order to perform that work, and the abilities you needed in order to apply your knowledge in an engineering context. Project work is likely to be one of the best ways of illustrating your knowledge and abilities. As well as projects conducted within university or college, you may find it useful to write about any industry experience required as part of the educational program. You should describe what you actually did, linking to particular elements of the knowledge profile. Write your material in the first-person using I or me instead of we or us statements. This makes it easy for the assessors to see what your personal contribution was. You are strongly encouraged to include actual samples of your work calculations, analyses or reports that you have personally undertaken.
