Unit of Competency CUVACD303A - Produce technical drawings
Description This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to apply a range of techniques to produce technical drawings that meet required standards and conventions.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application People working in many industries apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit.In the cultural industries, technical drawing skills to produce visual representations of objects, processes or spaces are required in sectors such as stage and set design for live theatre and events, as well as film and television productions. In the visual arts, technical drawings could be required in preparation for exhibitions, or as part of the process for designing artworks.At this level, work is undertaken independently but within established parameters. Supervision or guidance is available as required.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
Prerequisites/co-requisites Not applicable.

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

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

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to:

produce a number of technical drawings which:

show a command of selected techniques

adhere to technical drawing standards and conventions

apply knowledge of technical drawing practice, history and theory.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

equipment and materials required to produce technical drawings.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct observation of technical drawing in progress

evaluation of technical drawings produced by the candidate

questioning and discussion to determine candidate’s understanding of technical drawing techniques

review of portfolios of evidence

review of third-party reports from experienced practitioners.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.

Assessment Tasks

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.

Required skills

learning skills to improve own skills in technical drawing

literacy skills to interpret material required to produce technical drawings

numeracy skills to interpret and apply calculations and measurements in technical drawing

planning and organising skills to plan work tasks in a logical sequence

problem-solving skills to select technical drawing techniques that best suit the purpose and make adjustments as required

self-management skills to complete work within agreed timeframes.

Required knowledge

physical properties and capabilities of the range of materials, tools and equipment used for technical drawing work

technical drawing techniques and their application to a range of contexts and subject matter

technical drawing practices, history and theory, including current standards and conventions

intellectual property issues and legislation associated with technical drawing work

OHS procedures for technical drawing work.
