MEASURE 01.01.01 Demonstrate

knowledge of basic arithmetic operations

such as: addition, subtraction,

multiplication, and division in relevant

settings.

Y Y

This is a "given." It actually is too basic, you must

have more skills than just this level of math.

MEASURE 01.01.02 Interpret symbols to

determine compliance with the

manufacturer's specifications.Y Y

MEASURE 01.01.03 Measure angles,

distance, temperature, proportion,

volume, and weight with the proper tools

and equipment as required by

manufacturer's specifications.

Y Y

MEASURE 01.01.04 Measure/test with

tools designed for English or metric

measurements and then convert the

resulting measurement to the system

used by the manufacturer for specifying

the correct measurement or tolerance.

Y Y

MEASURE 01.01.05 Interpret charts,

tables, or graphs to determine the

manufacturer's specifications for

comparison.

Y Y

KEY: Y=Essential N=Not Essential O=Optional

COMMENTS

COMMON CORE COMPETENCIES- Consensus among work group -

MEASURE 01.01.06 Apply data and

measurements to solve the problem.

Y Y

Imperative!!! This is a big one! They must collect

the data, ID the problem, & then deal with the

problem. Suggest using the term, "analysis of data"

rather than apply. The whole cause & effect process

is implied here.

MEASURE 01.01.07 Identify any relevant

missing data required to solve the

problem. Y Y

MEASURE 01.01.08 Apply Ohm's Law to

determine electrical circuit parameters

that are out-of-tolerance.Y Y

MEASURE 01.02.01 Analyzes the

information in service manual charts,

tables, or graphs to determine the

manufacturer's specifications for

components and the appropriate

part.

Y Y

Very important.

MEASURE 01.02.02 Formulates a theory

relative to the cause of the problem

based on the information provided, then

tests the hypothesis to determine the

solution. Major steps include: 1. identify

the problem; 2. gather information; 3.

develop hypothesis; 4. take action; 5.

check results.

Y Y

This is what the job is all about--creating a

hypothesis. For example, imports are very

complicated. One needs to hypothesize, check what

is wrong to find the solution.

electrochemical reactions,

electromagnetism, etc.

An "assessment blueprint" is a document that indicates the knowledge and skills that will be

covered in an assessment instrument and the percentage of the assessment that will be devoted

to each area of knowledge and skills. The Minnesota assessment blueprints will be used to

review the appropriateness of existing assessments by determining how closely those

assessments match up to what the Foundation Knowledge & Skills teams have determined

should be assessed. The assessment blueprints can also be used to guide the development of

new assessments where suitable third-party assessments do not exist.
