Course Description

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to use appropriate software program functions and features to produce drawings for spatial tasks. The unit covers determining task requirements, including analysing task or design specifications and client needs, and setting up hardware and software applications. It requires the ability to use software functions and features to prepare digital and paper computer-aided spatial drawings, and to test and validate the integrity of drawings.

The unit supports those who work in technical support positions in a surveying and spatial information services team, and take some responsibility for liaising with clients or end users to meet task requirements.

Learning Outcomes


See elements above


Details of Learning Activities

You will learn to use a range of computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) program functions and features to produce drawings

You will be involved in the following learning activities:

  • Lectures
  • Tutorials
  • Projects

The total number of scheduled hours of teaching, learning and assessment involved in this course includes all planned activities (face to face classes, lectures, workshops and seminars; workplace visits, online learning and other forms of structured teaching and learning). It also covers the amount of effort necessary to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, observation of work performance, discussions with supervisors and others providing third party evidence and one on one and group assessment sessions with students.

Students will be able to access course information and learning materials through the Learning Hub and may be provided with additional materials in class. Lists of relevant reference books, resources in the library and accessible Internet sites will be provided where possible. You will also use equipment and software packages in the laboratory for the project work. During the course, you will be directed to websites to enhance your knowledge and understanding of difficult concepts.
