Application

This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to use manual drafting and drawing equipment to produce assembly, layout and detail drawings to AS 1100 Technical drawing or equivalent.

Skills covered by this unit are applied individually or in a team environment where comprehensive responsibility for the production of the drawing is exercised, and critical dimensions and associated tolerances are determined as required.

Where a computer-aided design (CAD) system is used unit MEM09009 Create 2-D drawings using computer-aided design system and unit MEM09010 Create 3-D models using computer-aided design system, should also 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 detail drawings to AS 1100 Technical drawing or equivalent according to specifications including undertaking calculations to determine all dimensions appropriate to ensure functional operation and suitability

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

interpreting data sheets and supplier catalogues to select material, components or assemblies to meet specifications

checking drawing for compliance with specifications.

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

specifications and requirements of the component, assembly or layout to be drawn

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

functional operation of the component or assembly to be drawn

surfaces which are to be in contact or separated

appropriate type of fit for contacting surfaces and reasons for selection

effect of surface finish on the performance and operation of surfaces

appropriate datum points

procedures for determining all appropriate lineal, diametric and geometric tolerances

requirements of AS 1100 Technical drawing or equivalent for the drawings to be produced

specifications of the materials, components or assemblies

appropriate components and materials from supplier catalogues and reasons for selection

procedures and reasons for checking the drawings to ensure that manufacturing or assembly is possible, efficient and cost effective

drawing specifications

methods of manufacture or assembly from the drawings

unnecessary or inappropriate tolerances.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must:

have vocational competency in performing advanced 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.
