Overview

This unit of competency covers marking off/out by transferring dimensions from engineering drawings, prints or plans to engineering items that are to be either manufactured or set up. Dimensions may be directly transferred or may require calculation from information on the drawings, prints or plans.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:

determining job requirements;
transferring dimensions;
