UEENEEE102A

Fabricate, assemble, and dismantle utilities industry components

Following is an assessment build intended to cover the scope of UEENEEE102A.

The knowledge and skills requirements for each of the 12 topics are listed on the facing page to the questions.
• The left justified green text is assumed to be knowledge focussed, and so is addressed in the assessment
• The right justified blue text is assumed to be skills focussed, and would be addressed in the workshop
classroom.
• Any text in purple, it is assumed will feature elsewhere in the course.

If you are reading this, then you are invited to become part of the conversation by making any constructive notes
wherever you feel appropriate on the document.
