The changes will be done a professional assistant. 3.9 Material or manufacturer specifications The Competition Organiser informs Experts of material specifications required for the Test Project through the Infrastructure List provided by WorldSkills International 6 months prior to the Competition. 4. SKILL MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATION 4.1 Discussion Forum Prior to the Competition, all discussion, communication, collaboration and decision making regarding the skill must take place on the skill-specific Discussion Forum (http://www.worldskills.org/forums). All skill-related decisions and communication are only valid if they take place on the forum. The Chief Expert (or an Expert nominated by the Chief Expert) will be moderator for this forum. Refer to Competition Rules for the timeline of communication and competition development requirements. 4.2 Competitor information All information for registered Competitors is available from the Competitor Centre (http://www.worldskills.org/competitorcentre). This information includes: Competition Rules Technical Descriptions Test Projects Other Competition-related information 4.3 Test Projects Circulated Test Projects will be available from worldskills.org (http://www.worldskills.org/testprojects) and the Competitor Centre (http://www.worldskills.org/competitorcentre). 4.4 Day-to-day management The day-to-day management is defined in the Skill Management Plan that is created by the Skill Management Team led by the Chief Expert. The Skill Management Team comprises the Jury President, Chief Expert and Deputy Chief Expert. The Skill Management Plan is progressively developed in the six months prior to the Competition and finalised at the Competition by agreement of the Experts. The Skill Management Plan can be viewed in the Expert Centre (http://www.worldskills.org/expertcentre). Prototype Modelling 5 of 9
5. ASSESSMENT This section describes how the Experts will assess the Test Project / modules. It also specifies the assessment specifications and procedures and requirements for marking. 5.1 Assessment criteria This section defines the assessment criteria and the number of marks (subjective and objective) awarded. The total number of marks for all assessment criteria must be 100. Section Criterion Marks Objective Subjective (if applicable) Total A Module A: 3D CAD design 0 5 5 B Module B: Preparation of drawings 0 5 5 C Module C: Modelling 10 75 85 D Module D: Painting 5 0 5 Total = 15 85 100 5.2 Subjective marking Scores are awarded on a scale of 1 to 10. 10 = perfect 9 = very good 8 = good 7 = rather good 6 = sufficient 5 = medium 4 = weak 3 = insufficient 2 = very bad 1 = zero 5.3 Skill assessment specification Module A 3D CAD Design A.1 Completeness of 3D drawings (objective) Module B Preparation of drawings B.1 Completeness of 2D drawings views and sections (objective) B.2 Dimension completed (objective) 5% objective 5% objective Module C Modelling/Manufacturing C.1 Originality of design (subjective) C.2 Functionality of design (subjective) C.3 Conformity to specifications (objective) C.4 Conformity to specified dimensions (objective) C.5 Conformity to 2D and 3D drawings (objective) Module D - Painting D.1 Finish of the painted surface (subjective) D.2 Attractive display of colours (subjective) 10% subjective and 75% objective 5% subjective 5.4 Skill assessment procedures Items to be assessed & the allocation of marks are decided by Experts before the Competition. A judgment form identical to the one used by Experts is provided to each Competitor to ensure transparency. Prototype Modelling 6 of 9
The Chief Expert or Deputy Chief Expert divides all Experts into several marking teams. In such cases, WorldSkills experience at a previous Competition is taken into consideration as well as culture, language and continent. If Experts have the possibility to measure the dimensions for objective marking by a digital measuring machine, the Experts can decide and organise it before the Competition. In this case, the measurement will be done by a professional assistant who is familiar with it. When the subjective marking and objective marking are performed on a module, the subjective marking should be performed first (every marking day) Progressive marking is used for each completed module. 5.5 Skill assessment weighting Objective marking Scores are awarded on a scale of 1 to 10. 10 = ±0 to ±0.2 8 = ±0.21 to ±0.3 6 = ±0.31 to ±0.4 4 = ±0.41 to ±0.5 2 = ±0.51 to ±1.0 1 = Exceeding ±1.0 0 = Not completed Angles +/-30' = 10 points +/-1 = 5 points Above 1 = 0 points Plastic fillets and radii +/-0.5mm = 10 points Above 0.5mm = 5 points Not attempted = 0 points Minimum one fillet, radii and angle must be measured. 6. SKILL-SPECIFIC SAFETY REQUIREMENTS Refer to Host Country Health & Safety documentation for Host Country regulations. No pneumatic tools are allowed for Creative Modelling. Only electric hand tools with dust extractors are allowed. 7. MATERIALS & EQUIPMENT 7.1 Infrastructure List The Infrastructure List details all equipment, materials and facilities provided by the Competition Organiser.
