INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE PAT

NOTE: These SECTION A ‘INSTRUCTIONS’ are for the EGD Teachers, DHs and Officials!

2025 PRACTICAL ASSESSMENT TASK (PAT) MANAGEMENT PLAN

No PAT activity 2025 Dates
GRADE 10
1 Handing out of the Gr. 10 PAT document to each learner 24 Mar
2 Teaching/explaining the Design Process as well as
24 – 28 Mar
explaining and discussing the 2025 scenario
3 PHASE 1 presentations and assessment completed Before Tue 22 Jul
4 Moderation of PHASE 1 23 Jul – 02 Oct
5 PHASE 2 & 3 / ALL PAT presentations completed Before Mon 13 Oct
8 Final assessment of ALL PATs 13 – 19 Oct
9 ALL PAT marks submitted to EGD SES 20 – 24 Oct
10 Final provincial moderation of ALL ‘complete PATs’ 14 – 31 Oct
NOTE: The date of ‘Before Monday 13 October 2025’ is NOT NEGOTIABLE!

Although the PHASES could be completed either cyclically or during block times, as
indicated in the ATP, it is recommended that ONE ENTIRE day per term, i.e., from 08:00 to
16:00+, be allocated to each PHASE.

The TOTAL TIME (maximum) allocated for the completion of ALL the PHASES of the PAT
should NOT exceed 15 hours.

To ensure that the PAT is completed within the stipulated timeframes, it is essential that the
teacher prepares and verbally communicates a management plan/pacesetter with
target dates. This will help learners monitor their own progress, and for the teacher to
implement intervention programmes.

NOTE:
To ensure the integrity of the PAT as the 'third examination paper', the following
additional instructions must be adhered to. Non-compliance with any of these and
afore-mentioned instructions will be deemed a serious irregularity.
· For the Grade 10 PAT ONLY, teachers may, in addition to A4 and A3 drawing sheets
and grid/graph paper, also give some usable templates, e.g., a table for the
selection process (presentation requirements no. 4), etc.
It must however be emphasised that these templates are merely to provide some
additional guidance to the Grade 10 learners ONLY, and may therefore NOT be
given to, or used by any of Grade 11 or 12 learners.
· Explanatory examples, e.g., graphical illustration, best practices from previous years'
PATs, etc., may ONLY be presented to the learners during the initial mediation of
the PAT. As the explanatory examples may not be given to the learners or left for
them to view indefinitely after the initial mediation, learners must be encouraged to
take notes during the initial mediation, but may NOT take any photographs or
videos.
· It is the responsibility of the teacher to ensure that each learner's PAT is of an
appropriate Grade 10 level and complexity.
· ALL presentation requirements of this PAT must be strictly adhered to.

GDE Engineering Graphics and Design 3 2025 Guidelines for Grade 10 PAT

· Except for the required research component, ALL the presentation requirements of
the PAT must be completed at school under the supervision of the teacher.
· Although the sharing of knowledge and ideas between learners is permissible, no
presentation may be shared or copied as the entire PAT must be completed
individually. ALL the presentations, including the front page, table of contents
(index), management plan etc., must be the learner's own original work.
· ALL learners must be encouraged to work on their own, with minimal intervention.
Developmental feedback and guidance may therefore ONLY be given on
presentations or a PHASE that has already been prepared/completed/attempted, or
when the learner requests it.
A learner must therefore first do/attempt a presentation requirement before
‘assessment for learning’ is applied, i.e., before feedback and guidance is given!
· NO drawings for the Grade 10 PAT may be prepared using a CAD program!
· The DECLARATIONS OF AUTHENTICITY (see page 15) must be completed and
signed by learner and the teacher ONLY prior to the final assessment of the PAT.
· The SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT SHEET (see page 14) must be completed in full for
each learner following the final assessment of the PAT.
· It must be ensured that ONLY the completed SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT SHEET,
DECLARATION OF AUTHENTICITY and the CHECKLIST (see pages 11 & 12) are
included after the table of content/index in each learners completed PAT
file/portfolios.

ASSESSMENT AND MODERATION OF THE PAT

Assessment

The assessment of the PAT must be done according to the included ASSESSMENT
CRITERIA AND CHECKLIST of this 2025 Grade 10 EGD PAT document!

Where a school has more than one Grade 10 EGD teacher, the teachers must assist one
another by conducting PAT assessment as a team. This will ensure a consistent standard
of assessment across all the learners.

The final formal assessment of ALL the PATs must be completed by 19 October 2025!

Once the PATs have been assessed and moderated, the teacher/school must retain ALL the
PATs for provincial moderation. ALL PATs must therefore be retained at the school, at
least the until end of Term 1 of 2025.
Clarification of level descriptors and the verification of marks:

· 1-mark level descriptor:

1-mark level 0 Requirement not met or presented incorrectly
descriptive 1 Requirement has been met and/or presented correctly

There is NO percentage (%) for the 1-mark level descriptor, and it is used for
elementary/basic presentation requirements and/or drawing features, and must be
applied as follows:
o '0' (zero) must be allocated for the requirement NOT met, or if the presentation
thereof is INCORRECT.
o 1 mark may only be allocated if the requirement has been met FULLY and the
presentation thereof is CORRECT.

· 2-mark level descriptor:

0 Requirement not met, or less than 30% evidence of knowledge shown (very poor)
2-mark level
1 Requirement included and at least 30%+ evidence of knowledge shown (avg.)
descriptive
2 Presentation shows at least 80% or more evidence of knowledge (very good)

Copyright reserved Please turn over

GDE Engineering Graphics and Design 4 2025 Guidelines for Grade 10 PAT

o '0' (zero) must be allocated if the requirement has NOT been included/ shown,
or if the presentation of the requirement shows less than 30% evidence of
knowledge, or when the requirement is VERY POOR.
o 1 mark must (may only) be allocated if the presentation of the requirement shows
at least 30% or MORE evidence of knowledge, or the requirement is NOT
complete or NOT completely correct, NOT compliant and/or clear, i.e.
AVERAGE.
o 2 marks may only be allocated if the presentation of the requirement shows at
least 80% or MORE evidence of knowledge, and the requirement is more than
80% complete, correct/compliant and clear, i.e. VERY GOOD.

· 7-mark level descriptor

GENERAL
DESCRIPTION for MARK ± PERCENTAGE MARK
INDICATORS
OUTSTANDING Error free 100% 7
MERITORIOUS (VERY GOOD) ± 80% + 6
Few errors
SUBSTANTIAL (GOOD) ± 70% 5
± 55%
ADEQUATE (SATISFACTORY) 4
Some errors Just MORE than a 50%
(± ½ right and ½ wrong) ± 40%
MODERATE (ACCEPTABLE) 3
Just LESS than a 50%
ELEMENTARY(UNACCEPTABLE) Many errors ± 33% 2
NOT ACHIEVED (VERY BAD) Completely wrong ± 25% & LESS 1
NON-/NO COMPLIANCE No evidence Nothing to mark 0
This implies that a '7' can only be allocated if the presentation requirement(s) is 100%
correct/compliant, i.e., outstanding/perfect and error-free.

· Verification of ALL final marks out of 10:

Each final mark out of 10 must be verified according to the descriptors contained
in the rubric on page 13 of this document. This implies that a '10' can only be
allocated if the presentation requirement(s) is 100% correct/compliant, i.e., perfect
and error-free.

· Rounding-off of marks:
Each mark out of 10 must be rounded off before being captured on the SUMMATIVE
ASSESSMENT SHEET (see page 14) and the recording/mark sheet. A mark of 9,5 or
9,75 must, however, remain a 9, as the 0,5 or 0,75 is an indication of a mistake. The
final mark out of 50, 25 and 25 for each of the three complete sections of the PAT must
also be rounded off after being calculated.

Moderation

The moderation of the PAT must be done according to the included ASSESSMENT
CRITERIA AND CHECKLIST of this 2025 Grade 10 EGD PAT document!

As monitoring and/or moderation of the PAT can take place at any stage during the
development of the PAT, ALL completed presentation requirements of ALL the PATs
MUST always be available at the school.

NOTE:
A tolerance range of ONLY 5% is permissible between the average assessed mark and
the average moderated mark of the PATs selected for moderation. Only once moderation
has been completed must the more than 5% difference between the average marks of the
moderated PATs be applied to the remainder of the PAT's.

GDE Engineering Graphics and Design 5 2025 Guidelines for Grade 10 PAT

NOTES on the rationale for, and the requirements of the Grade 10 EGD PAT:
· The PAT must be an application of EGD topics/content already taught, and
therefore in line with the ‘2025 Grade 10 EGD ATP’ and within the content of
‘2025 EGD Examinable Content Mapping’ document.
The time frames for the completion of the PAT therefore compels the
implementation of a Mechanical PAT.
· A Mechanical PAT also provides the essential educational opportunity to give
‘real life’ context to EGD at an early stage by applying the ‘reverse concept’ of
creating ‘technical drawings’ of a physical object, and not just creating drawings
from given written and graphical information.
· As prescribed by the ‘2025 EGD Examinable Content Mapping’ requirements,
Grade 10 mechanical drawings must consist of 3rd angle orthographic working
drawings with non-sectional, sectional and half-sectional views of mechanical
castings and objects from industry (including parts/components from any
object, which could be graphically presented within the context of EGD
mechanical drawings).
Only the following may therefore be Included on the drawing(s):
! Title; ! Scale; ! Layout planning; ! Centre lines; ! Hidden detail;
! Cutting planes for ‘full’ sectional and/or half-sectional views; ! Hatching detail;
! Dimensioning; ! Notes; ! Projection symbol
The following may NOT be included on any of the drawing(s):
! Non-permanent assemblies; ! Hexagonal bolts, nuts/lock nuts, washers/
spacers; ! Keys and keyways; ! Other different types of section, e.g., aligned
section etc.; ! Format and content of working drawing name/title blocks; !
Basic welding and/or machining symbols; ! Tolerances

· The research topics may also NOT include, or be on any of the prescribed
‘2025 EGD Examinable Content’ for Grades 10, 11 or 12!

NOTES on using grid/graph paper for the freehand drawings:

· Grid/graph paper MUST be used, and the evidence of the grid/graph paper
used must be clearly evident in the PAT file/portfolio! Both orthographic and
isometric grids must therefore be provided to ALL the learners.
· It is recommended that the reverse (clean) side of copies of ‘darker/clearer’
grid paper, as found in the back of EGD textbooks, be used for the freehand
drawings, or to simply use a copy as a ‘backing’ to clean drawing sheets.
· If freehand drawings are going to be drawn directly on grid paper, the ‘grids’
must be of a much lighter ‘other’ colour, e.g., light blue, light green etc., so
that the quality/darkness of the pencil line types will not have to be changed!
· Explain using the ‘block sizes’ as the scale, e.g., 1 Block = 5 x 5 mm.

GRADE 10 SECTION B: LEARNER TASK

General information and instructions:

· The PAT is a compulsory formal assessment task that will contribute towards your
final Promotional mark.
NOTE: You will not be awarded a final Grade 10 EGD Promotional mark if you do
not complete a PAT!
· ALL the presentation requirements of the selected PAT must be strictly adhered to
and, with the exception of the research component, be completed at school, under the
supervision of your teacher.
· Although the sharing of knowledge and ideas is permissible, no presentations may be
shared or copied. The entire PAT must be completed individually and ALL the
presentations, including the front page, table of contents, management plan etc.,
must be your own original work.
· The PAT must be completed in phases and within the given time frames of your
teacher's pacesetter/management plan.
· ALL freehand drawings and instrument drawings must be prepared in PENCIL.
· The PAT must be of an appropriate higher-order Grade 10 complexity.
· The PAT will be assessed according to the ASSESSMENT CRITERIA AND
CHECKLISTS (see pages 11 & 12) of this PAT document.
· The ASSESSMENT CRITERIA AND CHECKLIST (see pages 11 & 12) must be used
to provide clear evidence of your own continuous self-evaluation and the meeting
of the deadlines during the development of the PAT.
· Prior to the final submission of your complete PAT, you must complete and sign the
DECLARATION OF AUTHENTICITY (see page 15).
· ONLY the 2025 SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT SHEET (see page 14), your completed
and signed DECLARATION OF AUTHENTICITY, your completed 2025 CHECKLIST
and ALL your presentations must be included in the correct sequence in your PAT
file/portfolio including grid paper used.
· Untidy and messy work, as well as the late submission of presentation requirements, will
be penalised.

GRADE 10 PRACTICAL ASSESSMENT TASK

A mechanical design project

Scenario

You are employed as a draughtsperson by a drafting firm that specialises in providing

design services on metal, plastic and composite COMPLEX ONE-PART/-COMPONENT
OBJECTS, or SINGLE COMPLEX OBJECTS consisting of PERMANENTLY
ASSEMBLED PARTS, that can be graphicly presented by applying the prescribed
content for Grade 10 EGD mechanical drawings.

You are tasked with investigating and analysing the design features of existing complex
one-part/component objects or the complex parts/components of assembled objects,
and to then design possible improvement(s) to the specific part/component, which could
be one or more of the following:
· Improved efficiency
· To strengthen its current design
· Modify its design
· To simplify its application

Copyright reserved Please turn over

GDE Engineering Graphics and Design 7 2025 Guidelines for Grade 10 PAT

Your investigation, analysis and solution require the following stages:

· The FIRST stage involves finding and selecting (choosing) a suitable complex one-
part/-component object, or a single complex object consisting of permanently
assembled parts. The selected (chosen) part/component/object will forthwith simply
be referred to as the object in this project.
NOTE:
Ø You are NOT required to purchase the component. The object should therefore
be something that is already available to you, or from an object that is broken,
or no longer being used.
Ø You must, however, be able to hold the object in your hand, so that it can be
investigated, measured, and drawn.
· The SECOND stage involves investigating and measuring ALL features of the
component.
· The THIRD stage requires the identification of ONE area or feature of the object which
could be improved, modified or redesigned in some way. This will necessitate the
application of the design process, as stipulated below in the presentation requirements.

Requirements and specifications for the selected component:

· Each learner must have his/her own selected object for the PAT.
· The object must be submitted together with your PAT file/portfolio as part of the
PAT presentation.
· As a suitable scale other than scale 1 : 1 may be used to graphically present the object
to an appropriate size, the size of the object is not important, as long as it is not too
large or heavy to be submitted.
· The object may be metal, plastic, wood, or made of any other composite material,
e.g. porcelain.
· The object may consist of two or more separate parts/components that are
permanently bonded together by means of welding, soldering, fusing, or glue, to
form ONE permanent component.
· Objects, including the material(s) that it is made of, that could be deemed to be
dangerous in any way, may NOT be used for this PAT.
· Your teacher must APPROVE the object that you have selected to ensure that a PAT
of an appropriate higher-order Grade 10 complexity can be produced.

PHASE 1: PRESENTATION REQUIREMENTS

1. Analyse the given scenario and formulate a design brief in two paragraphs:
· The first paragraph must, in your own words, give a brief background to the
project, as well as a clear description of what has to be designed/achieved.
· The second paragraph must, in your own words, give a clear overview of your
role in the project, as well as a description of the complete DESIGN PROCESS
that you are going to implement and follow to complete this project (PAT).
NOTE: Paragraphs ONLY, i.e., a ¼ to a " of a page, and NOT an essay(s)!

From the prescribed scenario and your teacher's management plan, include the
following as part of your design brief:
· Your own list of the specifications of the object (should be 3 or more).
· Your own list of the possible constraints of the object (should be 2 or more).
The specifications that you have listed may however not be repeated or
reworded as possible constraints.
NOTE: Each specification & constraint must be ‘numbered/bulleted’ separately#
· Your own management plan that specifies target dates for the completion of
each presentation requirement.

GDE Engineering Graphics and Design 8 2025 Guidelines for Grade 10 PAT

2. Conduct your own research on:

· The function/purpose, the material(s) that the object is made of, and ALL the
specific design features of the object.
· The design and features of at least ONE other component/item that is similar,
i.e., have the same function/purpose, to the one that you have selected.

NOTE:
· The research must be relevant and should therefore include graphic material,
e.g., photographs, pictures and/or illustrations.
· ALL the required research material must be included in the PAT portfolio.
· The presentation of the research material must be aesthetically presented and
may NOT exceed TWO A4 or ONE A3 page per topic.
· The first THREE research requirements will be primarily hands-on investigative
research, which must be presented using detailed photographs, taken during
the second stage, with labels and/or notes indicating the purpose, material and
the design features of each aspect of the component.
· The evidence of the ONE other similar object may be in the form of a
comprehensive set of pictures, illustrations and/or photographs, together with
explanatory labels and notes.
· There must be clear evidence that the research was used in your design solution.
· Include a list of ALL references used (Bibliography).
NOTE: Include the references directly after the research, i.e., as part of no. 2!

3. Prepare TWO sets of neat detailed freehand drawings, each showing TWO different
proposed improvement, modification or re-design to the component.
Each set of freehand drawings must show at least TWO orthographic views in third
angle orthographic projection, and an isometric drawing that show dimensions,
labels and explanatory notes, as well as the correct presentation of ALL the features.
Include a short explanation of the possible improvement, modification or re-design.
NOTE:
· Grid/Graph paper must be used to assist in preparing the freehand drawings
so that ALL features are drawn to proportion. The evidence of the grid/graph
paper used must be clearly evident in the PAT file/portfolio
NOTE:
o It is recommended that you use the reverse (clean) side of copies of ‘darker/clearer’
grid paper, or to simply use a copy as a ‘backing’ to clean drawing sheets.
o Use the ‘block sizes’ as a scale, e.g., 1 Block = 10 x 10 mm, or = 5 x 5 mm.
· ALL aspects of the freehand drawing, including dimensions, tables, labels, and
possible information blocks must be prepared using a pencil ONLY. The use of
any other drawing instruments, e.g., a ruler or compass, will be penalised.
· Although the drawings may be prepared on either A4 or A3 drawing sheets, A4
drawing sheets are recommended for the Grade 10 freehand drawings.
· NO borders or title block are required for the drawing sheets. Simply add, in pen
and in neat, printed capital lettering, the page number and your name in the
bottom right-hand corner of each drawing sheet.
· ALL the freehand drawings must comply with the SANS 10111 guidelines.
· The drawings must provide clear evidence that a high level of competency has
been attained for the freehand drawing method.

4. Select the best proposed improvement/modification/re-designed solution, that

demonstrates an understanding of the scenario.

On a separate page, compare and evaluate the TWO freehand solutions by:
· Creating a table with a minimum of THREE self-explanatory descriptive criteria
that will facilitate measurable comparisons.
NOTE: NOT just a ‘word’, but a self-explanatory criterion!
· Creating and applying a simple, self-explanatory rating scale to score each
solution against each of the THREE criterion.
NOTE: You must explain the ratings/values of your created scale!
· Justifying each rating scale score by describing the positive and/or negative
aspects of each solution against each of the THREE criterion.
Complete the process by writing a comprehensive summary giving reasons for
your selected freehand solution. The summary must also include whether any late
changes were made to the selected freehand solution, or NOT. If there were, they
must be clearly described.

PHASE 2: PRESENTATION REQUIREMENTS

5. Present the selected object and the proposed improvement/modification/re-design

as a complete orthographic working drawing (5.1) and an isometric drawing (5.2)
that meet the following criteria:
· The orthographic working drawing must be presented on an A3 drawing sheet,
correctly set up with a correct border and a complete EGD name/title block.
· The isometric drawing may be presented on either an A4 or A3 drawing sheet.
· ALL the prescribed/required drawings (i.e., 5.1 and 5.2) must be prepare using
a pencil and drawing instruments.
· The drawings must provide clear evidence that an expected level of competency
had been attained with using a pencil and drawing instrument.
· The working drawing must comply with the SANS 10111 Guidelines.
NOTE: The drawing must therefore be compliant in terms for drawingfeatures such as
centre lines, dimensioning, hatching, etc.

5.1 Draw, to a suitable scale and in third angle orthographic projection, a

complete multi-view mechanical working drawing of the component, clearly
showing the selected improvement/modification/re-design to one of the
features.
The drawing must show the following THREE views:
5.1.1 The FRONT VIEW (the primary or ‘most descriptive’ view)
5.1.2 A SECOND PRIMARY VIEW
5.1.3 Any other SECONDARY VIEW

NOTE:
ONE of the views must be sectioned, and one of the non-sectioned views must
show all the hidden detail.

Include the following:

· Labels and explanatory notes
· ALL the dimensions that would be required to manufacture the component
· Cutting plane
· Hatching detail
· The required hidden detail
· Scale
· Projection symbol

GDE Engineering Graphics and Design 10 2025 Guidelines for Grade 10 PAT

5.2 Draw, to a suitable scale, an isometric drawing of the component.

NOTE:
· Large circles should be drawn as octagons, and small circles should be
drawn as hexagons.
· Fillets and curves/arcs should be drawn as partial octagons, i.e., using a
combination of 45º, 90º and 0º/180º lines.
· Clear evidence of ALL the required auxiliary views and constructions
used to produce the drawing, must be shown.
· Use a COPY of the Isometric drawing, which may contain artistic features, as
the picture for the cover page of your PAT file/portfolio.

PHASE 3: PRESENTATION REQUIREMENTS

Create a PAT file/portfolio containing the following in the given sequence:

· A complete cover page that includes the year, i.e. 2025, your school’s name, your
full name and surname, your grade and class group, your teacher’s title, initials &
surname, and copy of your own isometric drawing (5.2) for the task.
· A complete index (table of content)
· The 2025 SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT SHEET (see page 14)
· The completed DECLARATION OF AUTHENTICITY (see page 15)

Include the following PHASE 1 and PHASE 2 presentation requirements in the PAT
file/portfolio after the DECLARATION OF AUTHENTICITY:
1. ALL the design brief requirements
2. Evidence of ALL the resource material used for the required research
3. The TWO freehand drawings of the possible solutions (orthographic and isometric)
4. ALL the evidence of the selection of the best solution
5. The required working drawing (5.1) and the isometric drawing (5.2)
6. The ASSESSMENT CRITERIA AND CHECKLIST (LIST) on pages 11 & 12, which must
provide clear evidence of your own continuous self-evaluation and the meeting of
the deadlines during the development of the PAT.
NOTE:
o For moderation purposes, the completed SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT SHEET and
‘completed’ complete CHECKLISTS must be placed at the front of the PAT file/portfolios,
and NOT after the index!
o The complete CHECKLISTS should, however, be reduced to fit together on ‘ONE’ A4 page!
o Separated/’individual’ CHECKLISTS may also be used. These must, however, then be
attached (e.g., stapled) to the specific presentation requirement!

NOTE:
Include the following at the bottom right-hand corner of each page in pen:
· Clear numbering according to the numbers of the presentation requirements
· Your (the learner's) name on ALL the pages of ALL the presentation requirements.

Assessment criteria and control sheet for the 2025 GRADE 10 EGD PAT
· The GRADE 10 SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT SHEET of this EGD PAT document
must be used to record the total out of 10 for each assessment criteria.
· The contribution of each stage of the PAT is as follows:
o The design process, i.e. presentation requirement number 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7,
contribute 50 marks to the final PAT mark out of 100.
o The Working drawing and the pictorial drawing, i.e. the presentation requirement
number 5, contribute 25 marks to the final PAT mark out of 100
o Drawing methods, drawing skills and presentation, that needs to be assessed
by using ANNEXURE A, contribute 25 marks to the final PAT mark out of 100.
