Overview
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use different computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) program functions to produce drawings and documentation. It involves preparing to undertake the work, understanding the object or project brief parameters and measurements and finalising drawings according to requirements. The focus of this unit is on the technical skills required to operate CADD, not on design skills.The unit applies to those who use computer-aided drawing skills in various contexts.
Assessment
For Melbourne campuses
Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce & extend knowledge and skill competence within set & controlled parameters in accordance with each unit's learning outcomes & performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.
Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:
- use features and functions of a computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) program to produce at least three different computer-aided drawings that meet project objectives.
In the course of the above, the candidate must: - select CADD hardware and software to suit project requirements
- follow operating instructions and organisational procedures
- use feedback from others to refine and produce final drawings within specified timelines.
Required reading
The qualified trainer and assessor will provide teaching and learning materials as required in the form of workbooks produced by the VU Polytechnic and/or via the Victoria University Polytechnic e-Learning system.
