This will allow you to provide evidence of your competence when you are being assessed against the competency standard. b. Ensure that you have access to the facilities and equipment necessary for learning. c. Ensure that your learning resources are available. d. Ensure that you are wearing suitable clothing, that tools and equipment are safe, and that the correct safety equipment is used. e. Plan your learning programme (see below) f.
Understand how to use this Learner’s Guide (see below)
Planning your learning programme
The self-assessment checklist on the following page will assist you in planning your training programme as it will help you to think about the knowledge and skills needed to demonstrate competency in this unit. unit. As you go through the checklist checklist you will be able to find out what elements you have already mastered and which ones you will need to pay more attention to as you go through the learning process. To complete the self-assessment checklist, simply read the statements and tick the ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ box. You should do this exercise now.

ELEMENT 1:
DRAW AND INTERPRET SKETCHES AND SIMPLE DRAWINGS
PREPARE FREEHAND SKETCH
LEARNING OUTCOME
As you go through this element you need to ensure that you acquire the required knowledge, skills and attitude to prepare freehand sketch. Your learning facilitator is there to assist you through the various activities. Upon completion of the element you should be able to: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Draw sketch correctly and appropriately Show that sketch depicts object or part Obtain dimensions correctly Show dimensions correctly Show instructions clearly Indicate baseline or datum point
DRAWING SKETCHES CORRECTLY
When drawing sketches correctly it is important that the appropriate views are shown. The number of views necessary to convey all relevant information about the objects to be sketched should be identified. It is therefore necessary that engineers be capable of executing wellproportioned and understandable freehand pictorial sketches, for sketching is one of the most important modes of expression that they have available for use. Like other means for conveying ideas, when depended on alone, sketches will usually prove to be inadequate. However, when used in combination with the written or spoken language and related graphical representations, they make full understanding by others.
