Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify drawing requirements
   • Identify information requirements for work and obtain all relevant job requirements and design specifications in accordance with workplace procedures
   • Identify, interpret and analyse drawing requirements, specifications and relevant workplace information
   • Interpret and apply industry terminology for drawing work
   • Confirm communication practices required during drawing work
   • Estimate time requirements for completing work

Required Skills

Required skills

Required skills include correctly using and maintaining equipment including CAD manual drafting filing and printing reading and interpreting specifications communicating with supervisor to confirm work requirements and outcomes visualising components preparing a drawing in plane orthogonal isometric projection or equivalent determining drawing protocols required to complete drawing to industry standard selecting and locating text to support presentation establishing datums and dimensions for drawings drawing sections through an engineering component incorporating correct use of cutting plane symbols and conventions

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes drafting media including cartridge paper tracing paper drafting film and plain printing paper layout conventions effective use of blank space location of notes and symbols sectioning overview of graphical techniques assembly drawings and explosion drawings schematicsline drawings graphs and pictorials standard engineering drawing symbols references and terminology application of surface finish symbols to drawings uses of different scales in industry applications uses and types of line weights uses and types of drawing sheets type of information provided with drawings

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Overview of assessment	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to produce basic engineering drawings to AS Technical drawing General principles
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria including required knowledge and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts Specifically the candidate must be able to work within typical siteteamwork structures and methods apply worksite communication procedures comply with organisational policies and procedures including quality requirements participate in work meetings comply with quality requirements use industry terminology apply appropriate safety procedures produce drawings in orthogonal and isometric projection to AS Technical drawing General principles produce drawings in third angle projection including auxiliary views sections and assemblies include all details symbols and notation
Context of and specific resources for assessment	This unit may be assessed on the job off the job or a combination of both on and off the job Where assessment occurs off the job that is the candidate is not in productive work then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety quality communication materials handling recording and reporting associated with producing basic engineering graphics or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit
Method of assessment	Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid sufficient current and authentic Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation supervisors reports project work samples and questioning Questioning techniques should not require language literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency The candidate must have access to all tools equipment materials and documentation required The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures product and manufacturing specifications codes standards manuals and reference materials
