Explanatory notes
1
This unit standard is intended for use in engineering courses at diploma level.
2
This unit standard is one of three designed to cover knowledge of new and emerging
electrotechnology engineering products and systems development, the others being
Unit 22737, Demonstrate introductory knowledge of emerging or new
electrotechnology products or systems; and Unit 22739, Demonstrate intermediate
knowledge of emerging or new electrotechnology products or systems. There is no
requirement that credit for the lower level unit standards be gained before
assessment against this unit standard is attempted. People who have gained credits
for the other unit standards must select a different new or emerging
electrotechnology product or system when being assessed against this unit standard.
