Application

This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to prepare basic engineering drawings across mechanical, electrical/electronic, fabrication and fluid power applications, and includes preparing new drawings or changing existing drawings. Manual and computer aided drafting and drawing equipment can be used. Preparation of parts lists and issuing of drawing documents is included.

Specifications for drawings are pre-determined and are obtained from design information, customer requirements, sketches and preliminary layouts.

Where a more extensive computer-aided design (CAD) system is used for design, unit MEM09009 Create 2-D drawings using computer-aided design system should be selected.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

What You'll Learn

Assessment Requirements

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two (2) occasions and include:

following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices

identifying and confirming drawing requirements and purpose through consultation with relevant personnel, and establishing timeframes for completion

setting up and using drafting equipment

applying drafting principles in accordance with AS 1100.101-1992 (R2014) Technical drawing – General principles or equivalent

resolving any issues in the preparation of engineering drawing in consultation with a supervisor

undertaking numerical operations, geometry and calculations and formulae associated with preparing basic engineering drawings

compiling an engineering parts list by component type

issuing completed drawing and parts list to relevant personnel

storing and cataloguing approved drawing and parts list in accordance with SOPs.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate the required knowledge for this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

safe work practices and procedures

requirements and purpose of drawing and engineering parts list to be produced

sources and standards of relevant data and information to which drawing is to be produced

person(s) who can confirm drawing requirements and timeframe for completion

method of drawing preparation and reasons for selecting the chosen drawing method

procedures for:

producing an initial drawing

changing an existing drawing

checking and approving drawings and persons responsible

copying, issuing and recording approved drawings and or parts lists

safe handling and storage and filing of drawings and/or parts lists and consequences of using inappropriate techniques

drafting principles to be applied to the production and changing of a drawing

consequences of inappropriate and incomplete components parts lists

personnel to whom copies of approved drawings and or parts lists can be issued.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must:

have vocational competency in preparing basic engineering drawing at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience

satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 or its replacement and comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, its replacement or equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring state/territory as the case requires

Where possible assessment must occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
