What an assessment for MEA703 must cover
28 assessable components: 3 elements (14 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 8 knowledge evidence requirements. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Performance evidence
- investigating the uses of aeronautical models for aircraft, structure, aircraft systems and components
- reviewing features, functions and context of aeronautical modelling
- comparing available software, functions and features
- communicating, participating and negotiating with: stakeholders, team, cross-function support groups and experts appropriate licensed technicians and professionals
- performing modelling using a comprehensive range of techniques, such as: creating and manipulating 3-D entities using library files and adaptations top down system simulation comparing available software, functions and features creating dimensioned orthographic projections from model extracting dimensional properties from model using post-processing model for analysis or physical modelling modelling aeronautical component and system hardware and software
- finalising modelling by: completing work gaining approval and commissioning work providing documentation and reports as required obtaining sign-off.
Knowledge evidence
- engineering and market context for aeronautical component and systems modelling: relative speed compared to traditional methods related to quantities market demand speed, standardisation, quality and flexibility through data sustainability implications of modelling: economic, social and environmental
- aeronautical models, such as: aircraft design, including performance and power requirements aircraft structure and components mechanical systems and components hydraulic systems and components pneumatic systems and components flight control systems and components electrical and electronic control interfaces
- software functions and features: modelling software model analysis software (e.g. FEA) post-processor, CNC/CAM and rapid prototyping regulations relating to the design of aeronautical software
- model creation techniques, such as: using and manipulating coordinate systems creating 3-D entities, ruled and revolved surfaces creating solids, editing and combining solids manipulating entities and solids library files manipulations of solids and library files 3-D graphics from models, including rotated views and sections dimensioned orthographic representations from models top down system simulation construction of artwork for printed circuit boards
- typical modelling processes, including: computer modelling post-processing prototyping and model manufacture virtual model options, such as automated systems simulation physical modelling options, such as: post-processing to create NC data files to CNC circuit board assembly rapid prototyping options
- WHS requirements: WHS Acts and regulations, which recognise that stakeholders in workplace activities include the workforce exposed to worksite conditions, materials and processes of the activity and also recognise the broader community exposed to environmental effects of the activity. Competence in designing for and implementation of the Act, regulations, codes, directives, risk management and standards is required by other units relevant standards that give guidance to complying with the WHS Act codes of practice, risk assessment and registration requirements requirement for licensed technical and professional services
- modelling compared to traditional methods, such as: pen and pencil graphics compared to wire frame, surface and solid models computer animations compared to transparent overlay mobiles to test clearances and motions solid models compared to isometric representations computer library files compared to the use of reference charts and catalogue information
- future developments in modelling and related engineering software: new developments in computer aided engineering dynamic response of models new developments in rapid prototyping and manufacturing animations and simulations.

Questions about assessing MEA703
What does an assessment tool for MEA703 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEA703 needs to address all 28 unit components: 3 elements with 14 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 8 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 MEA703?
Auditori pulls the current release of MEA703 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 MEA703 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MEA703 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 MEA703, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
