Prepare drawings for fabricated sheet metal products

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit would be applied by draftspersons operating within the manufacturing and engineering industry. Application of this unit includes documenting product features and fabrication methods. Output may be required in 2-D or 3-D models.

Work is conducted to meet predetermined project specifications and requires access to and interpretation of organisational and industry catalogues and product specifications.

Drawings/models will usually be carried out with the use of computer-aided design (CAD) systems but may also be done manually. Drawings are produced to Australian Standard (AS) 1100.101–1992 Technical drawing – General principles, from predetermined critical dimensions and specifications. If CAD systems are to be used, the unit MEM30031A Operate computer-aided design (CAD) system to produce basic drawing elements, should also be selected.

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to prepare detail drawings for fabrication of sheet metal products.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Prerequisites

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to interpret specifications and apply in detail drawings for fabricated sheet metal products.

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

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Specifically the candidate must be able to:

work within typical site/teamwork structures and methods

apply worksite communication procedures

comply with organisational policies and procedures, including quality requirements

participate in work meetings

comply with quality requirements

use industry terminology

apply appropriate safety procedures

interpret and apply specifications for fabricated products, and produce detail drawings according to industry standards and conventions.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.

This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with drafting or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.

Method of assessment

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways, including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
