Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Prepare for technical drawing work | 1.1 Clarify drawing requirements by referring to project documentation and consulting with appropriate people 1.2 Identify factors that may impact on technical drawing work 1.3 Select techniques to fit the purpose of the drawings 1.4 Prepare equipment and materials according to workplace procedures and safety requirements |
2. Create technical drawings | 2.1 Apply appropriate conventions and standards to technical drawings 2.2 Prepare and review preliminary drawings in consultation with relevant people and confirm required amendments 2.3 Produce technical drawings that are consistent with concept and purpose of drawings 2.4 Finalise and submit technical drawings within agreed timeframes |
Evidence of Performance
Evidence of the ability to:
produce technical drawings which:
show a command of selected techniques
adhere to technical drawing standards and conventions
satisfy specified drawing purposes and concepts
follow workplace procedures and safety requirements
use feedback from others to refine and produce final drawings
meet deadlines.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
Evidence of Knowledge
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
describe physical properties and capabilities of the range of materials, tools and equipment used for technical drawing work
