Required Skills
Not applicable.
Evidence Required
Underpinning skills and knowledge
Assessment must include evidence of the following knowledge and skills:
the ways in which CADD is used within a specific industry context
basic principles of CADD
typical features and functions of CADD programs, including drawing tools, view displays, edit functions, working with layers, plotting and printing
Occupational Health and Safety issues associated with the use of hardware and software
awareness of copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation associated with the use of CADD
literacy skills sufficient to interpret and use digital information, including instructions required for the production of computer aided drawings
numeracy skills sufficient for calculations and measurements required for the production of computer aided drawings.
Linkages to other units
This unit has linkages to a wide range of other units in various Training Packages and combined assessment and/or training with those units would be appropriate.
Critical aspects of evidence
The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:
ability to use the standard features and functions of a CADD program to produce drawings
knowledge of CADD capabilities and uses in relation to the specific industry context.
Method and context of assessment
The assessment context must provide for:
practical demonstration of skills using an industry-current CADD program to develop drawings for a specific workplace purpose.
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
evaluation of drawings produced by the candidate
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of CADD features and functions
review of portfolios of evidence
third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.
Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, e.g. speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).
Resource requirements
Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials resources and equipment needed to produce computer-aided drawings.
