MEM05037 - Perform geometric development
Overview
This unit of competency has been developed for Engineering Tradesperson – Fabrication apprenticeship training and the recognition of trade-level skills in marking out general fabrications using geometric development techniques.
Marking out associated with geometric development is done to specifications interpreted from technical drawings and job specifications.
This unit applies in jobbing workshops and involves the development of templates and general fabricating using geometrical layout techniques.
Skills covered by this unit are generally applied in occupational and work situations associated with steel fabrication, boiler making or sheet metal work.
For skills required for marking out activities associated with general engineering and maintenance functions, see the following units:
- MEM07005 Perform general machining;
- MEM12006 Mark off/out (general engineering), and;
- MEM18006 Perform precision fitting of engineering components.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publicati
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:
- following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices;
- examining detailed drawings for fabrication requirements and specifications, including materials, measurements and tolerances, joining methods, standards and code requirements;
- calculating allowances for fabrication and assembly;
- establishing and marking datum points;
- selecting and using parallel line, radial line and triangulation development methods with minimum material wastage and accurate dimensions, and;
producing templates accurately and following storage procedures.
Required reading
The qualified trainer and assessor will provide teaching and learning materials as required in the form of workbooks produced by the Polytechnic and/or via the Polytechnic e-learning system.
