This unit covers producing basic engineering drawings using a CAD system to produce a basic engineering drawing consisting of 1 to 3 orthogonally projected views, dimension and notations suitable to manufacture a component in the workplace. This unit applies to the production of drawings according to defined parameters and predetermined specifications that include materials, tolerances, codes and other specifications. All work is conducted under supervision. Standard CAD software would be used including inbuilt file management, macros and reports. Drawings include plans, diagrams, charts,...

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to develop competencies in writing technical or non-technical reports that include some level of analysis and/or research. The term report is used to denote any required written communication that goes beyond a simple recording of facts (such as completion of a pro forma shift production schedule) and which is based on a level of analysis and/or research. Where reports include technical information or details, then the writer would have the required technical knowledge/capability. Conclusions and/or recommendations where...

This unit covers setting up and operating a range of mechanical cutting and holing equipment and applies to sawing, shearing, cropping and/or holing and includes setting up and operating a range of equipment. Examples of machines that could be covered include guillotines, croppers, cold saws, band saws, automatic saws etc. Typical applications of this unit may include cutting for manufacture, production cutting and cutting of materials selected from stores in a maintenance environment. The unit does not cover hand or hand held power tools used for cutting e.g. circular saws, nibblers and side...

This unit of competency covers producing drawings or similar graphical representations where the critical dimensions and associated tolerances and design specifications are predetermined. This unit applies to any of the full range of engineering disciplines. All work is carried out under supervision and all specifications, dimensions and tolerances are predetermined. The unit covers application of introductory drafting skills to select and apply drawing protocols. Manual drafting or computer-aided design (CAD) drawing equipment may be used. Drawings are completed to Australian Standard (AS)...
