7 4: Producing mechanical Engineering drawings using a CAD system (Suite 2) Endorsement by a sector or regulatory body: This unit is endorsed by SEMTA Aim: This unit covers the skills and knowledge needed to prove the competences required to set up and operate a computer aided drawing (CAD) system to produce detailed drawings for mechanical Engineering activities. It will prepare the learner for entry into the Engineering or manufacturing sectors, creating a progression between education and employment, or it will act as a basis for the development of additional skills and occupational competences in the working environment. The type of drawings produced will include detail component drawings for manufacturing, assembly and sub-assembly drawings, installation drawings, fault location aids such as flow diagrams, and modification drawings.

8 The learner will be given a specific drawing brief or a request for a change/modification to a drawing, and they will be required to access these requirements and extract all necessary information in order to carry out the drawing operations . The learner will need to select the appropriate equipment and drawing software to use, based on the type and complexity of the drawing functions to be carried out. The learner will be expected to use current British, European, International and company standards to produce a drawing template for a range of paper sizes that must include the Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Performing Engineering operations (7682) 7 drawing title, scale used, date of drawing, material to be used and other relevant information.

9 The learner will then be expected to produce fully detailed drawings to enable the manufacture, assembly, installation or modification of the product to take place. On completion of the drawing activities, the learner will be expected to return all documentation, reference manuals or specifications to the designated location, to shut down the CAD system correctly and to leave the work area in a safe and tidy condition. The learner s responsibilities will require them to comply with health and safety requirements and organisational policy and procedures for working with the CAD equipment. The learner will need to take account of any potential difficulties or problems that may arise with the computer hardware, software or drawing procedures, and to seek appropriate help and advice in determining and implementing a suitable solution.

10 The learner will work under a high Level of supervision, whilst taking responsibility for their own actions and for the quality and accuracy of the work that they carry out. The learner s knowledge will provide an understanding of their work, and will enable them to apply appropriate computer aided drawing procedures and techniques for generating mechanical Engineering drawings. The learner will understand the computer system and software used, and its application, and will know about the various tools and techniques used to produce the drawings, to the required depth to provide a sound basis for carrying out the activities to the required specification.
