What is Industrial Graphics Skills?
Industrial Graphics Skills focuses on the underpinning industry practices and production processes required to produce the technical drawings used in a variety of industries, including building and construction, engineering and furnishing.
Students understand industry practices, interpret technical information and drawings, demonstrate and apply safe practical modelling procedures with tools and materials, communicate using oral and written modes, organise and produce technical drawings and evaluate drawings using specifications.
Students develop transferable skills by engaging in drafting and modelling tasks that relate to business and industry, and that promote adaptable, competent, self-motivated and safe individuals who can work with colleagues to solve problems and complete tasks.
What makes a student suited to Industrial Graphics Skills?
Students who achieve success in Industrial Graphics Skills are those who:
- are hardworking and have an ability to work individually and in teams
- want to develop understanding of industrial graphics and its application to industry
- are preparing for vocational employment
- understand that the basis of practical skills is in theoretical understanding

• Pull along toys (animated)
Summative internal assessment 4:
PROJECT ARCHITECTURE
• Design a fit out for a container: Residential, Business, Re-design Caravan,
• Garden shed: shelving and spatial arrangements |
| Year 11 | Unit 1 | Introduction to drafting in the manufacturing industry.
The unit introduces students to the industry practices and drafting processes associated with drafts people, who use drawing skills and procedures to create technical drawings (specifications) that facilitate the manufacture of quality products in the manufacturing enterprises. | Formative internal assessment 1:
PRACTICAL DEMO - Students will individually produce a range of basic orthographic and pictorial view of single piece item
Formative internal assessment 2:
PROJECT - Students will individually produce a set of detail engineering drawings and a 3D print, |
| | Unit 2 | Introduction to the drafting in the construction and furnishing industry.
The unit introduces students to the industry practices and drafting processes associated with drafts people, who use drawing skills and procedures to create technical drawings with the required specifications and presentations for the furniture production and building and construction industries. | Formative internal assessment 3:
• PRACTICAL DEMO – Students will individually produce a range of basic orthographic and pictorial view of timber workshop projects
Formative internal assessment 4:
PROJECT - Students will individually create a set of detail technical drawings, for a proposed facility eg. (gym/holiday house/sporting change rooms/workshop) |
| Year 12 | Unit 3 | Working cooperatively in drafting workplaces.
This unit builds upon previous learning of industry practices associated with drafts people, who work in teams using drawing skills and procedures to create technical drawings (specifications) for the engineering industry. | Summative internal assessment 1 (IA1):
PRACTICAL DEMO- Students will individually create a detail drawing including orthographic and pictorial view of a multi piece project.
Summative internal assessment 2 (IA2):
