Overview of Assessment
Various written assignments/tests and practical exercises/projects 100%
Assessment Tasks
Assessment 1 – Drawing Portfolio
This assessment will focus on your ability to used AutoCAD to produce technical engineering drawings according to AS1100. This will involve:
• Function of engineering drawings and standards
• Drawing preparation and layout
• Third angle projection of orthogonal drawings
• Referencing relevant specifications and standards in the interpretation and preparation of drawings
• Drawing sectional views, dimensioning, tolerance conventions and practices
• Isometric projections
• Assembly and detail drawings
• Material requirements
• Engineering and workshop terms
- Plotting and printing
This drawing portfolio will have a weighting of 40% of the final overall assessment mark.
Assessment 2 – Drawing Test (open book)
From an isometric dimensioned drawing, you will produce a fully dimensioned and specified 3rd angle projection technical drawing using the tool as part of AutoCAD and in accordance to the principles set out in AS1100. You will be required to produce a top, side and front elevation views as well as a sectioned view.
This practical exercise will have a weighting of 60% of the final overall assessment mark.
