Engineering Drawing Level 2 2025

Dear Trainees

Welcome to the Engineering Drawing Class of 2025.

Purpose 

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.

Special Notes 

2. This unit standard may be assessed in any context of operation and may be assessed in conjunction with other relevant technical unit standards selected from a particular domain that has a thematic link to this unit standard. 

 3. Glossary of terms:  ‘SABS’ refers to South Africa Bureau of Standards.  ‘ISO’ refers to International Standards Organization. 

 4. Assessment evidence may be collected at any realistic place where logical collection of such evidence can be achieved.
