Overview

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to interpret and prepare basic two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) engineering drawings.
It requires the ability to read and interpret information from a basic engineering drawing as well as using conventional drafting materials and equipment to prepare basic 2D and 3D engineering drawings in accordance with the requirements of Australian Standard for Technical Drawing (AS1100).The unit applies to a person preparing for further study and/or employment in the manufactuing, engineering and related industries such as an apprenticeship.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce & extend knowledge and skill competence within set & controlled parameters in accordance with each unit's learning outcomes & 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:

  • prepare two dimensional (2D) engineering drawing of two (2) basic mechanical components
  • prepare three dimensional (3D) engineering drawing of two (2) basic mechanical components
    Each drawing must comply with the current Australian Standard for Technical Drawing (AS1100).

Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:

  • function of technical drawings
  • drawing media – materials, sheet sizes and layout
  • types of lines and their application
  • letters, numerals and symbols
  • scales for engineering drawings
  • drawing skills and techniques
  • delineation of shape – projection (2D and 3D) and sectioning
  • conventional representation of common features
  • definition of size – dimensioning and tolerances
  • designation of welds – welding terms and symbols
  • Australian Standard for Technical Drawing (AS1100)
  • function and care of conventional drafting equipment.

Required reading

The qualified trainer and assessor will provide teaching and learning materials as required in the form of workbooks produced by the VU Polytechnic and/or via the Victoria University Polytechnic e-Learning system.
