Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to apply computer-aided design (CAD) modelling and data management techniques to the design of avionic engineering products, processes, systems or services.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Clarify product, process, system or service design requirements
- 1.1 Discuss and clarify design specifications of the required product, process, system or service with the client and design team
2 Produce initial product, process, system or service CAD model
- 2.1 Apply CAD modelling and data management techniques to suit given task
- 2.2 Confirm initial CAD model and graphical representation satisfies the design specification, manufacturing and operational requirements, safety, environmental and related standards
- 2.3 Determine design parameters for the model using engineering calculations and engineering references, standards and codes
- 2.4 Identify materials, manufacturing methods and processes for initial design model
- 2.5 Ensure initial design model provides for assembly and system form, fit, functional, load, service life and maintainability requirements
- 2.6 Prepare initial production graphics, specifications and instructions in accordance with the agreed design concept and organisational requirements using organisation standards
- 2.7 Customise CAD software appropriately to suit task requirements
- 2.8 Manage and distribute CAD generated data according to organisation protocols and access privileges, contractual or agreed client requirements
3 Validate the product, process, system or service model
- 3.1 Confirm suitability of the product, process, system or service design model and graphical representation with the client, other team members and interested parties
4 Develop, validate, implement and file model data, production graphics and specifications and procedural documentation
- 4.1 Prepare production model and graphics, specifications and instructions for the product, process, system or service in accordance with the agreed design concept and organisational requirements and incorporate feedback on initial design graphics
- 4.2 Check production model or graphics, specifications and instructions for the product, process, system or service with the client, design team and other affected persons for suitability prior to implementation
- 4.3 Respond to implementation installation and commissioning feedback in accordance with organisational requirements
- 4.4 Maintain validated production model or graphics, specifications and instructions for the product process, system or service throughout the implementation, installation and commissioning processes, and process and file in accordance with organisational requirements
Modelling and data management techniques
Modelling and data management techniques may include:
selecting appropriate modelling software and technique
generating model and data
post-processing
generation of annotated 2D images from model
customisation of user environment to organisational standards and customer requirements
incorporation of standard components and library files
use of programming and macros
setting up parametric models
presentation techniques, including multimedia using CAD data, transfer and management of data
Graphical representation
Graphical representation may include:
CAD, drawing and design techniques to relevant Australian and/or ISO standards or equivalent
Production graphics, specifications and instructions
Production graphics, specifications and instructions may include:
those prescribed within the organisation’s policies and procedures
those required by relevant statutory regulations and requirements

Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to apply CAD modelling and data management techniques to a range of avionic engineering designs. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.
Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor’s reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Competency should be assessed in the work environment or simulated work environment using tools and equipment specified in maintenance documentation. It is also expected that general purpose tools and test equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate.
The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.
Method of assessment
This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with applying CAD modelling and data management techniques to avionic engineering designs or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.
