2 Guidance for candidates Make sure you re familiar with the assessment criteria and grading descriptors for this unit. These are included at the end of this external assessment. If you re aiming for a Merit or Distinction it s particularly important that you re familiar with what these grades require, as you work through Task 1. Read Task 1 carefully and make sure that you understand what you need to do to answer each question Instructions for candidates Complete your name, your centre number and your candidate number on the front of this external assessment paper. You have 45 minutes to complete this assessment. It consists of 1 Task. You must answer all the questions within Task 1 in order to address assessment criteria 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 fully. You cannot achieve a Pass grade unless you meet the required standard for the assessment criteria. Write your responses to Task 1 in the spaces provided. All the work you submit must be your own. You may use extra paper if you need it. You must write your name, your centre number and your candidate number on any additional paper. This must be securely attached to this answer booklet. Once you ve completed your external assessment you must sign the candidate declaration on the front of this answer booklet, to declare that the work produced is your own. At the end of the assessment the Invigilator will collect this answer booklet and any additional paper if used Resources You may use all of the material given within the external assessment paper, but no other resources should be taken into the examination room. You re not allowed to use the internet or any other reference material to help you complete the Tasks. 2

3 External assessment You must attempt all the questions in Task 1. Scenario: You work for an engineering company which has been asked to design and manufacture a shelf for your old school. The shelf is to support a tennis trophy and a large silver plate which will be displayed in the entrance of the school. The shelf will be made from glass and will be supported by aluminium brackets. You re part of the team which is making the shelf and your role is to produce engineering drawings of a bracket holding the shelf. The engineers will then use your drawings to construct the brackets for the shelf. You ve been given a sketch of the bracket below to use to produce your s. 3

4 Task 1 You must ensure your work in Task 1 addresses assessment criterion 1.1, 1.2, 1.3. You can refer to the assessment criteria at the end of this Task. Look at the sketch on page 3. a. What unit of measurement is used in this sketch? b. What system of measurement is used in this sketch? c. Give 2 other units of measurement which are used in this system. d. What alternative system of measurement could have been used in the sketch? e. Give 2 units of measure which are used in this system. f. Why do engineers use these 2 systems of measurement? 4

5 g. Give 3 examples of measuring devices used in. h. When would you use each of these? Give examples. i. Give the advantages and disadvantages of each measuring device. 5

6 j. Describe the purposes of scale and proportion in 6

7 Assessment criteria The assessment criteria 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 are detailed below. If you re aiming for a Merit or Distinction it s particularly important that you re familiar with what these grades require, as you work through the tasks. Assessment criteria 1.1 Distinguish between the common systems of measurement in engineering drawing Pass Merit Distinction distinguish between the common systems of measurement in clearly distinguish between the common systems of measurement in in detail perceptively distinguish between the common systems of measurement in in detail 1.2 Describe how measuring devices are used in engineering drawing describe how measuring devices are used in describe in detail how measuring devices are used in perceptively describe how measuring devices are used in 1.3 Describe the purpose of scale and proportion in engineering drawing describe the purpose of scale and proportion in coherently describe the purpose of scale and proportion in describe the purpose of scale and proportion in showing critical judgement What you need to do at the end of the external assessment 1. Check that you have completed your name, your centre number, and your candidate number on the front of this booklet 2. If you have used additional paper, complete your name, centre number and candidate number on each page and hand in with this booklet 3. Sign the declaration on the front of this answer booklet.
