Assessment Brief – BTEC (QCF)
Qualification: BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in IT / Year: 2Hand Out Date: 23/03/2017 / Assessor: Owen Funnell / Assessment No: 2
Unit No (s): 24 / Unit Title (s): Controlling Systems Using IT
Scenario:
You are employed by an electronics company as a design engineer in their control systems division. Your day to day activities include designing, building and testing control systems for a variety of purposes.
You have a work blog which is used to post up research and developments you make which can then be shared with others.
Hand in Date / Task Outline
26/05/2017 / Task 1:
You have been tasked with designing, building, testing and then demonstrating a prototype project using the Arduino hardware. It must use 1 input sensor. Examples:
· Server room temperature monitor – Monitors the temperature with visual output
· Alarm for a room – Motion Sensor with audio output
You will be required to provide a blog of the development of the project it must include (P6):
1. Initial research
o Initial research carried out into similar products
o Initial pictures or ideas of the project
2. The purpose of the system
o What will the system do?
o What problem will the system overcome?
3. The components required
o What input sensors and output devices are you going to use
4. Build log showing each step of development of your system
o Pictures of each stage of the build with a description of what you have done
o A test log of your system using a test plan
You will also need to give a demonstration of your system to your tutor and peers. (P7)
This covers criteria:
P6 - Design a control system
P7 - Implement a control system
26/05/2017 / Task 2:
Document potential improvements you can make to your control system you built in P6/P7
This covers criteria:
M4 - Suggest potential improvements to a control system
26/05/2017 / Task 3:
You have been tasked with building a prototype device for a person with dementia. You are required to automate tasks and overcome safety concerns. Examples: A temperate sensor in a bath to alert when the water is to hot or cold and a movement sensor to automatically turn on lights.
Your system needs at least 2 different input sensors to achieve the criteria
You will be required to provide a blog of the development of the project it must include:
1. Initial research
o Initial research carried out into similar products if any
o Initial research carried out into dementia and issues/problems that a device could overcome
o Initial pictures or ideas of the project
2. The purpose of the system
o What problem will the system overcome?
3. The components required
o What input sensors and output devices are you going to use
4. Build log showing each step of development of your system
o Pictures of each stage of the build with a description of what you have done
o A test log of your system using a test plan
This covers criteria:
D1 - Design a control system that uses different types of sensors
26/05/2017 / Task 5:
Evaluate your design and the performance for the automated house system you built in D1.
This covers criteria:
D2 - Evaluate the design and performance of a control system
Guidance to Students:
Include details of all your references and resources that you have used when completing this assessment (include books, DVDs, journals, web sites and class presentations) – ensure you use the Harvard (APA) format of referencing for this.
ALL PASS criteria must be gained to achieve an overall pass for this unit
PLUS ALL MERIT criteria for a Merit grade
PLUS ALL DISTINCTION criteria for Distinction grade overall
