  • MEM30031   Operate computer-aided design (CAD) system to produce basic drawing elements
    • CIT Code: ENGR288
      Cost: Standard $275.00
      Description: This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to apply functions of computer-aided design (CAD) software programs that are typically used in the production of detail drawings. This unit is suitable for those working within a CAD or drafting work environment and may be applied across engineering and manufacturing environments. It covers competent use of a CAD program to perform basic drawing tasks used in the development of detail drawings. Drawings may include plans, diagrams, charts, circuits, systems or schematics. All work is carried out under supervision. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
      Prerequisites: Nil
  • MEM30032   Produce basic engineering drawings
    • CIT Code: ENGR289
      Cost: Standard $325.00
      Description: This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to produce drawings or similar graphical representations where the critical dimensions and associated tolerances and design specifications are predetermined. This unit applies to any engineering discipline. The unit covers application of introductory drafting skills to select and apply drawing protocols. Drawings are completed to Australian Standard (AS) 1100.101 Technical drawing General principles. Manual drafting or computer-aided design (CAD) drawing equipment may be used. When CAD skills are required, unit MEM30031 Operate computer-aided design (CAD) system to produce basic drawing elements should also be selected. The unit applies to engineering or related activities and is suitable for people giving technical support in manufacturing or engineering operations and those pursuing technical qualifications and careers at paraprofessional or technician level. All work is carried out under supervision. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
      Prerequisites: Nil
  • MEM09229   Read and interpret technical engineering drawings
    • CIT Code: ENGR290
      Cost: Standard $200.00
      Description: This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to read and interpret technical engineering drawings. Technical engineering drawings may use perspective, exploded views or hidden detail techniques and may include symbol glossaries. Drawings are provided as described in AS 1100.101 Technical drawing – General principles, or other relevant Australian and international standards from the full range of technical engineering disciplines. Where any technical engineering drawing, sketch, chart or diagram is only used as a technique for communication, then this unit does not apply and unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements or unit MEM16006 Organise and communicate information should be selected as appropriate. This unit should not be selected when MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing has been selected. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
      Prerequisites: Nil
