This unit of competency describes the knowledge and skills required to produce engineering drawings using a computer aided drafting (CAD) system. The unit includes the use of CAD software commands to generate drawing elements used in the development of a detailed drawing and familiarisation with the use of macros, menus, default settings and file management functions.
The unit covers the development of simple two dimensional (2D) drawings and simple three dimensional (3D) drawings consistent with the conventions and general requirements of Australian Standard AS1100.
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:
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.
This unit is not compulsory for any specific course. Depending on the course you study, this unit may be taken as an elective.
