Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section. |
1. Prepare to produce drawing | 1.1 Drawing purpose and design concept are defined and clarified according to workplace procedures 1.2 Drawing specifications are identified and confirmed with appropriate persons 1.3 Operational characteristics of object to be drawn are identified 1.4 Required drawing resources are selected |
2. Draft initial drawing | 2.1 Initial drawing is drafted from prototype model sketch and specifications 2.2 Production notes or special requirements are documented 2.3 Draft drawing is checked for accuracy against specifications and concept prototype drawing, and required approval is sought |
3. Complete final drawing | 3.1 Final drawing is compared to original design concepts and modified as required within scope of own authority 3.2 Drawing is checked and approved according to workplace procedures |
This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.
Drawing specificationsmust include: | dimensions, angles, shapes and component finish fabrication processes measurements and specifications quality and technical information. |
Resources must include: | design concept brief and associated specifications drawing equipment object or sub-assembly to be fabricated and drawn. |
Drafting initial drawing must include: | appropriate object dimensions connection of dimensional points to match drawing. |
Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in the unit’s elements and performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
produce three detailed technical drawings of objects, automotive products or components from design concepts specific to a vehicle or equipment application
produce above drawings in both two- and three-dimensional form, and include dimensional points, fabrication notes and product finish requirements
draw above drawings manually or using electronic drawing aids with appropriate software.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
common automotive terminology
techniques for translating design concepts into sketches and detailed technical drawings
technical drawing procedures and specifications
procedures for making and listing drawing measurements and notes
procedures for checking, documenting and storing drawings.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to drawings that they have produced from design concepts, e.g. drawings or sketches.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
object, product or sub-assembly to be fabricated and drawn
design concept brief and associated design specifications
drawing work plans and instructions
technical drawing procedures and specifications
manual drawing equipment or computer and appropriate software.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
