Application

This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to produce drawings to AS 1100 Technical drawing or equivalent using manual drafting or drawing equipment, where the critical dimensions, associated tolerances and design specifications are predetermined.

Where a computer-aided design (CAD) system is used unit MEM09009 Create 2-D drawings using computer-aided design system and MEM09010 Create 3-D models using computer-aided design system, should be selected as appropriate.

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

preparing layout, assembly and component drawings to AS 1100 Technical drawing in line with SOPs in plane orthogonal, isometric projection or equivalent, including auxiliary views and sections

applying dimensions and labelling using supplied tolerances

producing drawings to specifications using standard symbols to AS 1100 Technical drawing or equivalent

undertaking numerical operations, geometry, calculations and formulae associated with performing basic engineering detail drafting

compiling a component and materials list

completing documentation according to 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

appropriate projection for the drawing purpose and reasons for selection

reasons for including auxiliary views in drawings

requirements of AS 1100 Technical drawing or equivalent with respect to dimensions, tolerances and labels

procedures for producing component, layout and assembly drawings, and uses of drawings

numerical operations, geometry, calculations and formulae associated with performing basic engineering detail drafting

common symbols used in drawings to AS 1100 Technical drawing or equivalent

design specifications of components

appropriate components and materials from supplier catalogues and reasons for selection.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must:

have vocational competency in performing basic engineering detail drafting 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.
