AI can get you up to speed fast and suggest where to look, but you need to confirm findings against real sources, records or people.
Part of Evaluate the characteristics, usefulness, or performance of products or technologies, under the O*NET work activity group Judging the Qualities of Objects, Services, or People. Individual tasks below can carry a different label when their own wording calls for it (0 AI-ready, 17 AI-assist, 0 stays human).
Tasks built on this activity
- Research, design, evaluate, install, operate, or maintain mechanical products, equipment, systems or processes to meet requirements.
- Evaluate chemical equipment and processes to identify ways to optimize performance or to ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations.
- Evaluate project work to ensure effectiveness, technical adequacy, or compatibility in the resolution of complex electronics engineering problems.
- Assess the physical security of servers, systems, or network devices to identify vulnerability to temperature, vandalism, or natural disasters.
- Evaluate robotic systems or prototypes.
- Conduct analyses of ships, such as stability, structural, weight, and vibration analyses.
- Evaluate the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of biomedical equipment.
- Evaluate the efficiency and reliability of industrial robotic systems, reprogramming or calibrating to achieve maximum quantity and quality.
- Evaluate traffic control devices or lighting systems to determine need for modification or expansion.
- Evaluate transportation systems or traffic control devices or lighting systems to determine need for modification or expansion.
- Trace electrical circuitry to ensure compliance of electrical systems with applicable codes or laws.
- Evaluate performance of craft during dock and sea trials to determine design changes and conformance with national and international standards.
- Evaluate operation of marine equipment during acceptance testing and shakedown cruises.
- Determine whether selected electromechanical components comply with environmental standards and regulations.
Tasks where it is part of the work
- Design or analyze automobile systems in areas such as aerodynamics, alternate fuels, ergonomics, hybrid power, brakes, transmissions, steering, calibration, safety, or diagnostics.
- Evaluate the operation and maintenance of water or wastewater systems to identify ways to improve their efficiency.
- Evaluate remote sensing project requirements to determine the types of equipment or computer software necessary to meet project requirements, such as specific image types or output resolutions.
