Economics, Industrial Arts and Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
In this module, the focus is on ICT-TD Preparing Drawings using Computer-Aided
Design (CAD).

This module focuses on Process and Delivery enriched with hands-on

activities that will assess learners’ level of knowledge and skills. Learning procedures
are divided into different sections such as: What to Know, What to Process, What to
Reflect on and Understand, and What to Transfer.
Content Standard

The learner demonstrates understanding of concepts and underlying principles

in the preparation of plan using computer aided-design (CAD).

Performance Standard

The learner independently prepares computer-aided design plans based on

established industry and/or job requirements.

Learning Competencies

The competencies expressed as learning outcomes in this teaching guide are

the exact competencies that will be used to assess the learners/trainees for them to
secure COC or NC in Technical Drafting.

This teaching guide would allow teachers/instructors to strategically teach the

competencies spread out in the module; guide the learners in performing the
activities; process learner’s understanding; and assist the learners in applying what
they have learned to an entirely new context.

Utilizing effective teaching methodology and strategies suitable to the learning

needs and requirements of the learners, the following are the competencies that
should be mastered by learners/trainees after finishing this module.

LO 2. Prepare plan using CAD.

I. Introduction

The primary purpose of Technical Drafting is to provide the learners with the
knowledge and skills that will help them become successful Draftsmen.

Preparing drawings using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is designed to

develop the technical skills and technical know-how of the learners in architectural
drafting works using CAD. Learners will learn to operate CAD software and
hardware, work on the basic drawing tools, in preparation for the architectural
working plans and drawings. Thus, this module seeks to provide learners with the
knowledge, skills, and motivation on how to prepare drawings/plans using computer-
aided design in the field of Technical Drafting.

Orient learners on the following:

 Technology and Livelihood Education Curriculum

 V. SUMMARY

This Technical Drafting course introduces to the learners the different learning
activities that will prepare them to be skillful before they take the plunge into the
world of work as draftsmen. All the basic and fundamental knowledge as well as the
primary skills that a draftsman should acquire in order to produce marketable
product/service which is one of the goals of entrepreneurship.

Lessons 1 covers the basics of CAD commands that will able to prepare and
be familiar with the operation of CAD software and computer hardware. Suggested
activities are also provided to enhance your skills in preparation of architectural
requirements using CAD.

Lesson 2 discussed setting-up AutoCAD to work with architectural drafting

style. Using CAD software as a drafting tool for architectural drawings conventions
requires some changes.

In Technical Drafting and other field or similar areas, occupational health and
safety precautions are applied in order for the worker to be safe and free from any
hazards that would affect the equipment, the environment, as well as the people in a
workplace.

The preparation of technical working drawings is not an easy task. This

module would help the reader acquire the basic knowledge of and skill in this field.
