Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Identify drawing requirements
  • All relevant job requirements and design specifications are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures.
  • Drawing requirements and specifications are identified and interpreted.
       
Element: Prepare assembly, layout and general drawings in accordance with instructions
  • Drawings are prepared in plane orthogonal, isometric projection or equivalent.
  • Problems are resolved in consultation with a supervisor.
       
Element: Draw sections through simple engineering components as required for clarity
  • Sections are drawn through an engineering component incorporating correct use of cutting plane(s) symbols and conventions.
       
Element: Select physical dimensions from manufacturer handbooks
  • Where required, components and/or materials are selected from supplier/manufacturer catalogues using predetermined design specifications.
       
Element: Prepare engineering parts list
  • An engineering parts list is produced in accordance with workplace procedures.
       
Element: Issue or file completed drawing/parts list
  • Approved drawings and/or parts lists are stored, catalogued and issued in accordance with standard operating procedures.
       


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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to produce basic engineering graphics. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.

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.

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, supervisor's 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.

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)


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

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

correctly using and maintaining equipment including CAD

manual drafting, filing and printing

reading and interpreting specifications

communicating

visualising components

preparing a drawing in plane orthogonal, isometric projection or equivalent

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

drafting media including cartridge paper, tracing paper, drafting film, plan printing paper

layout conventions

effective use of blank space, location of notes and symbols

sectioning

draw sections through an engineering component incorporating correct use of cutting plane(s) symbols and conventions.

overview of graphical techniques

assembly drawings, explosion drawings

schematics/line drawings, graphs, pictorials

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Specifications

May be obtained form design information, customer, ideas, concepts/expectations/requirements, sketches, preliminary layouts

Drawings

Include plans, diagrams, charts

Consultation

May include reference to appropriate personnel including technical supervisors, manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, customers

Engineering parts list

May include part name, description of part, material specification or part number, quantities and other details as required

Issued drawings

Hard copy, photographic, slide or transparency form including presentation as a single drawing and/or with other drawings, support documentation as a package

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.
