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

No Pre-requisites needed for this unit.

Course Description

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge to produce two-dimensional (2-D) product design drawings using software applications. It requires the ability to set up the drawing template file to create and edit drawings, output drawing and use saving, backing up and importing file functions. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
