Required Skills and Knowledge

Required Skills and knowledge 

This section describes the skills and knowledge required for this unit.

Required skills :

  • literacy skills sufficient to interpret and use digital information, including instructions required for the production of computer aided drawings
  • numeracy skills sufficient for calculations and measurements required for the production of computer aided drawings.

Required knowledge :

  • the ways in which CADD is used within a specific industry context
  • basic principles of CADD
  • typical features and functions of CADD programs, including drawing tools, view displays, edit functions, working with layers, plotting and printing
  • occupational health and safety issues associated with the use of hardware and software
  • awareness of copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation associated with the use of CADD.

Evidence Guide

EVIDENCE GUIDE 

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.

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

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

  • ability to use the standard features and functions of a CADD program to produce drawings
  • knowledge of CADD capabilities and uses in relation to the specific industry context.

Context of and specific resources for assessment 

The assessment context must provide for:

  • practical demonstration of skills using an industry-current CADD program to develop drawings for a specific workplace purpose.

Method of assessment 

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

  • evaluation of drawings produced by the candidate
  • oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of CADD features and functions
  • review of portfolios of evidence
  • third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties e.g. speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials resources and equipment needed to produce computer-aided drawings.
