2.Successfully apply the appropriate concepts and principles related to
electronics measurement theory and practice to include:
1.1 The selection, use and operating principles of the applicable test equipment.
1.2 Communications, reports, tables, diagrams, directions, regulations, standards,
etc.
1.3 Applied math and statistics to document measurement.
1.4 Interpretation of technical illustrations and documents for specifications,
measurements, and tolerances, etc. (“Specmanship”)
1.5 Select and use precision measuring and test equipment to inspect parts and
devices to confirm they conform to specifications.
1.6 Inspect circuitry to confirm they conform to specifications.
1.7 Show familiarity with applicable standards, including the concept of traceability.
1.8 Compose reports using Excel and other industrial software for data collection,
analysis and presentation of information.
