Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to prepare basic engineering drawings across mechanical, electrical/electronic, fabrication and fluid power applications, and includes preparing new drawings or changing existing drawings. Manual and computer aided drafting and drawing equipment can be used. Preparation of parts lists and issuing of drawing documents is included.Specifications for drawings are pre-determined and are obtained from design information, customer requirements, sketches and preliminary layouts. Where a more extensive computer-aided design (CAD) system is used for design, unit MEM09009 Create 2-D drawings using computer-aided design system should be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: AUnit Weight: 8
