CSS9 Reading Text 1 Catch Up Fridays SY 2023 2024

The document discusses different types of technical drawings including flowcharts, schematic diagrams, charts, block diagrams, layout plans, and loop diagrams. Flowcharts are used to document processes and present solutions using basic symbols like processes, decisions, and connectors. Schematic diagrams simplify systems using symbols rather than realistic representations. Common charts include histograms, bar charts, pie charts and line charts. Block diagrams show major process steps and interfaces. Layout plans arrange workspaces. Loop diagrams visualize how system items interconnect.

The Different Kinds of Technical Drawing

TECHNICAL DRAWING is essential for communicating ideas in industry and engineering. To make the drawings
easier to understand, people use familiar symbols, perspectives, units of measurement, notation systems, visual
styles, and page layout. Together, such conventions constitute a visual language and help to ensure that the
drawing is unambiguous and relatively easy to understand. Flowcharts are easy to understand diagrams that show
the different steps in solving a specific problem. Easiness is the key to make flowchart more useful in
communicating how processes works, and for documenting how to do a specific task.

Flowchart is a very simple yet powerful tool to improve productivity in both our personal and work life. Here are
some ways flowchart can be helpful:

 Document a process
 Present a solution
 Brainstorm an idea
 Design a system
 Explain a decision making process
 Store information

What are the Basic Symbols of Flowchart?

A flowchart is commonly used by systems analysts to visualize the series of processes in a business system. A
flowchart is a useful tool to design an efficient business system and to troubleshoot or improve an existing system.
A flowchart consists of elements, such as the terminator, process, sub process, decision, arrow lines, and
connectors.

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
A schematic diagram is a representation of system elements that are abstract or symbols which are graphical in
nature. It removes all the irrelevant information.
In the data processing cycle example below, Input/ Output Devices are represented by a rectangle. The rectangles
don’t resemble the actual devices but give you information without unnecessary visual clutter. The same logic goes
with the flow of the data and how they are being processed, stored, and retrieved from the CPU and computer
memory.

CHART
A chart is a diagram that displays the relationship of at least two variables. It is often used to easily interpret large
quantities of data and relationship between their parts.
There are four common charts:
• Histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of numerical data.
• Bar Chart is a graphical representation of grouped data
• Pie Chart is a graphical representation of quantifiable data represented by a sectioned circle much like a pie
that’s been cut with the slices varying in size.
• Line Chart is a graphical representation of information as a series of data points connected by line segments.

BLOCK DIAGRAMS
A block diagram is a specialized type of flowchart. It represents an encompassing view of major process steps,
including the relationships and interfaces.

LAYOUT PLANS
A layout is a tool to arrange a workplace, like in a plant, organization, or computer laboratory in your school. It
shows how the computers should be located and arranged properly according to specifications like the size of the
room and number of units to be installed.

LOOP DIAGRAMS
A loop diagram aids you visualizing how items in a system are interrelated. It consists of a set of nodes that
represents the item, and edges that each represents a connection between two items
