Description
This unit of competency has been developed for Engineering Tradesperson - Fabrication apprenticeship training and the recognition of trade-level skills in marking out general fabrications using geometric development techniques.Marking out associated with geometric development is done to specifications interpreted from technical drawings and job specifications. This unit applies in jobbing workshops and involves the development of templates and general fabricating using geometrical layout techniques. Skills covered by this unit are generally applied in occupational and work situations associated with steel fabrication, boiler making or sheet metal work.For skills required for marking out activities associated with general engineering and maintenance functions, see the following units: MEM07005 Perform general machiningMEM12006 Mark off/out (general engineering)MEM18006 Perform precision fitting of engineering components.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: AUnit Weight: 6
