Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to complete freehand sketches to illustrate or communicate information to be used in engineering drafting applications. It includes the use of standard drawing conventions and techniques to represent the subject in appropriate proportion and view. Sketches can be used as part of the drafting process to illustrate or communicate information about design, worksite, layout plan or construction features and the unit includes the ability to apply standard drawing conventions to sketching 2D orthogonal and pictorial freehand drawings and sectional views.This unit is suitable for those working within a computer-aided design (CAD) or drafting work environment.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
