Engineering Graphics and Design EGD Grade 12 Practical Assessment Tasks (PAT) for 2023 and previous years

Engineering Graphics and Design EGD Grade 12 Practical Assessment Tasks (PAT) for 2023 and previous years You may obtain Grade 12 Engineering Graphics and Design Practical Assessment Tasks (PAT) for both the current and prior years on this website (2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019). If feasible, memoranda from prior PATs are also provided.

The Structure of Engineering Graphics and Design Grade 12 Practical Assessment Tasks

Below is the structure that Grade 12 Engineering Graphics and Design  students should follow:

The Engineering Graphics and Design (EGD) PAT is a compulsory national formal assessment task that contributes 100 marks (25%) towards a learner’s final NSC mark. It is therefore regarded as a third NSC examination paper.

The purpose of the PAT is to assess topics, content and concepts, which are contained in the CAPS, but not assessed in tests or examinations. These are:

• The design process
• The application of the design process
• The quality and neatness of freehand, instrument and CAD drawings

With the inclusion of the research component as part of the design process, content and concepts that are not included in the CAPS may be included in the PAT. The PAT is therefore designed to develop a learner’s ability to integrate and apply knowledge that is taught and self-acquired, and to demonstrate attained levels of skills and competency. The PAT gives the learner an opportunity to apply knowledge in a creative way through the design process. The learner is also given an opportunity to complete the PAT in an environment which is more conducive to the creative processes. This environment should therefore provide the learner with easier access to, and a wider variety of, resource material than would otherwise be available in a formal test or examination

 

The PAT is divided into THREE PHASES:

• PHASE 1: The design process
• PHASE 2: Preparing working and pictorial drawings
• PHASE 3: Creating the PAT file/portfolio

 

The three PHASES require that the learner demonstrates a clear understanding of, and is able to apply, the design process. As part of the design process, the learner must be able to do the following:

• Analyse the given scenario and formulate a design brief that includes a list of specifications, constraints and a management plan
• Conduct relevant and usable research
• Use the research in generating ideas/concepts/solutions, analytically and graphically, using freehand drawings
• Select a final solution that demonstrates a clear understanding of the design brief
• Present the final solution as a set of working drawings and a pictorial (3D) drawing
• Provide clear evidence of continuous self-evaluation during the development of the PAT
• Create a PAT file/portfolio

 

PHASE 1 and PHASE 2 of the PAT have been designed to give the learner the opportunity to demonstrate a level of competency and skill that has been attained in the following drawing methods:

• Freehand drawings, prepared using a pencil and grid/graph paper only
• Instrument drawings, prepared in pencil and using drawing instruments
• CAD drawings, prepared using a CAD program

TWO practical assessment tasks (PATs) are included in this document:

• PAT 1 is a task in the context of civil technology, with an electrical component
• PAT 2 is a task in the context of mechanical technology
