Perform mechatronics engineering design drafting
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to the undertaking of designated design tasks and the specification in mechatronic or automated plant, products, projects, and related system changes or improvements.
The design drafting is normally undertaken at the direction of an engineer, scientist or other designer who will pass on a concept brief to the design draftsperson. The concept brief may be a sketch, hard copy plan or document, or a CAD generated file. The unit requires design drafting to be produced using appropriate CAD software. Depending on the task or project, production or supervision of hard copy drawings may also be required.
The unit also includes supervision of detailed drawing production and managing of requests for further information from detailed draftspersons.
This unit may require completion of appropriate engineering design or evaluation units from the MEM05 Metal and Engineering Training Package depending on the design drafting task and previous industrial experience.
This unit does not cover the production of detailed drawings (often known as shop drawings). Where detailed drawing skills are required the relevant MEM detailed drawing units should be selected.
This unit of competency covers the preparation of design drafting for mechatronic engineering and related industry sectors. The unit includes working with a design brief or concept prepared by an engineer or other designer as well as the specification of items, functions, limits, fits, tolerances, and other engineering information required for the eventual production of fully detailed drafting. The unit requires the design drafting to be performed using appropriate computer-aided design (CAD) and other drafting techniques that include sketching, computer drafting and the application of drawing standards.
