This unit standard specifies the competencies required to apply basic knowledge of
engineering drawing. It includes knowledge of engineering drawing fundamentals,
apply basic drawing techniques, construct free-hand drawings, construct geometric
drawings, construct reproduction drawings, produce basic drawings in first angle
orthographic projection, produce axonometric drawings, project prisms and pyramids
and produce basic sectional drawings. This unit standard is intended for people
requiring basic engineering drawing skills as applied in different contexts.
This unit standard specifies the competencies required to demonstrate knowledge of the requirements of entrepreneurs. It includes demonstrating knowledge of the requirements of entrepreneurs. This unit standard is recommended for all national Vocational Education and Training programmes and qualifications.
This unit standard specifies the competencies required to apply knowledge of pre-basic
mathematics in different contexts. It includes application of knowledge of algebraic
fundamentals to perform basic calculations, knowledge of mensuration and
percentage, knowledge of factors and fractions, apply knowledge of exponents
(indices) and logarithms to simplify algebraic and logarithmic expressions and carry out
simple manipulations, solve and manipulate linear equations and technical formulae,
apply knowledge of geometry, trigonometry and graphs in solving simple physical
problems. This unit standard is intended for people in different contexts, requiring pre-basic mathematic skills.
Special Note
This unit standard specifies the competencies required to apply knowledge of basic
engineering science in different context. It includes competencies to apply knowledge
