Qualification -
Unit of Competency MEM30033A - Use computer-aided design (CAD) to create and display 3-D models
Description This unit of competency covers using a computer-aided design (CAD) program to produce and plot basic 3-D view drawings.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to the production of 3-D models using CAD software and associated equipment. This will include the use of region and solid modelling techniques, section views and pre-drawn library files. Work also includes extraction of properties and application of basic rendering techniques.All work is conducted under supervision.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Confirm drawing requirements
  • Confirm purpose, scope and information and presentation requirements for drawing
  • Identify, interpret and analyse available information relevant to project and work requirements, and identify and address further information needs
  • Identify computing equipment and software used in the organisation
  • Identify work flow and procedures for work supervision and confirm communication requirements through project
  • Examine requirements for presentation of drawings
       


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 use CAD to create and display 3-D models.

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 site/teamwork 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

identify modelling work requirements and determine appropriate software functions and features

apply CAD functions to produce a rendered 3-D model to Australian Standard (AS) 1100.101–1992 Technical drawing – General principles.

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 using CAD to create and display 3-D models 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.

Submission Requirements

(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

Required skills include:

reading and interpreting engineering specifications

organising information

using computer and peripherals

using CAD program

saving 3-D modes in various file formats

preparing drawings in plane orthogonal, isometric projection or equivalent

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes:

region modelling techniques

solid modelling techniques

development of sectioned models

use of cutting plane

use of cross hatching

use of pre-drawn library files and primitives to produce a 3-D model

use of third level software to produce 3-D models

how to extract mass and area properties

how to extract area properties from region models

application of basic rendering techniques to a 3-D model

Multiple viewing

Multiple viewing includes:

top views

front and side views

general 3-D view

3-D geometric shapes

3-D geometric shapes may include:

arcs and lines

spheres

cones

cylinders

boxes

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.
