Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop and refine a range of techniques to produce technical drawings. It outlines the ways technical drawing can be applied to a range of contexts where visual representation is required. People working in many industries require the skills and knowledge in this unit, and the unit is written to allow for contextualisation to a particular industry context. This work would usually be carried out independently, although guidance would be available if required.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Determine technical drawing requirements.
  • 1.1 Review relevant documentation/concept information to determine technical drawing requirements.1.2 Where appropriate, liaise with relevant colleagues to confirm and clarify technical drawing requirements.
2 Select techniques.
  • 2.1 Identify and select appropriate materials, tools and equipment suitable for technical drawing.2.2 Safely follow procedures to test and practise a range of technical drawing techniques.
3 Produce technical drawings.
  • 3.1 Select the most appropriate technical drawing technique for the work to be produced.3.2 Select the materials, tools and equipment appropriate to the technique.3.3 Use technical drawing techniques correctly to production drawings which are consistent with concept/purpose of the drawing.

Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

production of technical drawings which show a command of the selected techniques and meet the required purpose/objectives
knowledge of technical drawing techniques and their application to specific contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

practical demonstration of skills using required materials, tools and equipment to produce technical drawings consistent with the concept/work requirements.

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

direct observation of the drawing in progress
evaluation of technical drawings produced by the candidate
questioning and discussion of the candidate's intentions and work outcome
review of portfolios of evidence
third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.
Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment
Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment needed to produce technical drawings.
This unit has linkages to a wide range of other units in various Training Packages and combined assessment and/or training would be appropriate.
