Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.

Pre-requisites and Co-requisites

MEM30001A - Use computer aided drafting systems to produce basic engineering drawings
EDX060B – Prepare basic mechanical and structural steel drawings to AS 1100

Course Description

This unit covers the necessary skills and knowledge to use CAD to produce multi-view, multi-scale detail and assembly drawings to AS 1100, including the creation and use of library parts and the use of third party software.

National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:	EDX120B Use extended features of CAD
Element:	1. Produce multi-view and multi-scale drawings
Performance Criteria:	1.1 A multi-view drawing is produced from an unscaled 2D model. 1.2 Detail views are produced at different scales from an unscaled 2D model.
Element:	2. Create and use library parts and files.
Performance Criteria:	2.1 Library parts/elements suitable for standardisation are constructed and saved 2.2 Each library component is inserted at a specific scale and orientation to predefined locations in a drawing. 2.3 Library parts are modified after insertion 2.4 Library parts are modified and redefined
Element:	3. Attach attribute data to library parts
Performance Criteria:	3.1 The type of data to be attached is formulated and defined 3.2 The relevant parameters are set in order that the required data can be entered and attached to each part. 3.3 The data is entered for each part as it is inserted in the drawing. 3.4 The data is modified and updated as necessary
Element:	4. Extract and manipulate data from a drawing

Details of Learning Activities

Students will use the Planning and Time Management chart in the learning material to assist them through the course. The chart lists all your topics and their learning outcomes, and the activities and assessments to complete. Following this chart is the best way to monitor your progress and ensure you meet all deadlines.

This course runs for an 8 week duration (approximately 4 hours per week) consisting of both; in-class time and out of hours study. Students are expected to complete the project assessment either during scheduled class time or in their own time.
 

Students will submit their assessment projects and activities as indicated in the Learning Guide and feedback on activities and assessments will be provided during and after submission.

All work must be presented as specified by your teacher and as per the instructions in the learning guide. Students are required to be professional in both presentation and attitude, including meeting of deadlines. Plagiarism is strictly forbidden. Students must ensure they have read the plagiarism statement in the Course Outlines online.

A schedule of assessments can be found below and in the learning guides.

Overview of Assessment

Assessment are conducted in both theoretical and practical aspects of the course according to the performance criteria set out in the National Training Package. Students are required to undertake summative assessments that bring together knowledge and skills. To successfully complete this course you will be required to demonstrate competency in each assessment tasks detailed under the Assessment Task Section.

Your assessment for this course will be marked using the following table

NYC (<50%) Not Yet Competent

CAG (50-59%) Competent - Pass

CC (60-69%) Competent - Credit

CDI (70-79%) Competent - Distinction

CHD (80-100%) Competent - High Distinction

Assessment Tasks

All assessment tasks are drawing based assessments to be completed on the CAD program taught in class. Each assessment gradually steps up in degrees of difficulty as the student develops and gains greater experience with the program and Engineering concepts. Below is a Marking Guideline to assist students understand the grading system and what it takes to achieve a higher grade and improve their performance. A Marking guideline matrix appears in the learning guide for this course.

Students must achieve a result of >50% combined for the assessment tasks and >50% for the competency test to pass this course (CAG or higher) overall.

If a re-submission is granted, or an alternative assessment offered and a pass grade achieved, then students will not be eligible for a grade higher than 50% regardless of the standard of work.


• Assessment 1: Steel Beam and Column Connection (30%)
Students must draw the Steel Beam and Column Connection using orthographic projection and sections while adhering to AS1100 and class specified drawing standards

• Assessment 2: 3D Concrete Building (50%)
Student must draw a 3D Building using Autodesk Revit.
 
• Assessment 3: Test (20%)
Students must draw a basic concrete structure using Revit software while adhering to AS1100 and class specified drawing standards.
