What an assessment for MEM234017 must cover
46 assessable components: 3 elements (14 performance criteria), 11 performance evidence and 21 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.
Elements & performance criteria
1 Clarify the design task and elaborate the specification
- 1.1Establish features and performance parameters of exhaust, ventilation and dust collection plant and equipment, in consultation with the client
- 1.2Determine parameters of the brief or contract
- 1.3Determine stakeholders to be consulted in design process
- 1.4Assess work health and safety (WHS), regulatory, sustainability or environmental issues relevant to design task
- 1.5Confirm design brief, including budget and schedule, and provide preliminary advice on feasibility
2 Prepare concept proposal
- 2.1Use investigation and analysis to define exhaust, ventilation and dust collection plant and equipment performance parameters
- 2.2Carry out required modelling, simulations and calculations using appropriate techniques, software and validation techniques
- 2.3Generate exhaust, ventilation and dust collection plant and equipment solutions that respond to the brief or contract
- 2.4Check feasibility and evaluate solutions against design criteria ensuring conformity to WHS, regulatory, sustainability and environmental requirements
- 2.5Review concept proposals with clients and select preferred solution
3 Design exhaust, ventilation and dust collection system
- 3.1Develop selected exhaust, ventilation and dust collection system designs
- 3.2Provide documentation, drawings, specifications and instructions
- 3.3Consult with client and stakeholders to obtain sign-off on design
- 3.4Monitor installation and commissioning with stakeholders, and make any necessary modifications
Performance evidence
- establishing required features and functions of the exhaust, ventilation and dust extraction
- confirming parameters of the brief or contract and providing initial advice based on discipline knowledge, standards, work health and safety (WHS), regulatory and risk assessment requirements
- researching latest trends and techniques in design of exhaust, ventilation and dust collection plant and equipment systems
- investigating, measuring, modelling and calculating design options
- investigating faults in existing designs and proposing solutions
- modelling and calculating system performance
- innovating and creating solutions, incorporating systems thinking, continuous improvement and constraint and contingency management
- designing exhaust, ventilation and dust collection systems on at least two occasions
- applying safe working practices and procedures
- communicating, negotiating and reviewing with stakeholders and client throughout the process to obtain agreement on proposal and sign-off on design
- documenting design with required drawings, specifications and instructions
Knowledge evidence
- contemporary design methods and research and investigation approaches for exhaust, ventilation and dust collection plant and equipment
- design brief parameters
- techniques for:
- continuous improvement
- problem-solving and decision-making

Questions about assessing MEM234017
What does an assessment tool for MEM234017 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM234017 needs to address all 46 unit components: 3 elements with 14 performance criteria, 11 performance evidence requirements, 21 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 MEM234017?
Auditori pulls the current release of MEM234017 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 MEM234017 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MEM234017 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 MEM234017, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
