TECHNICAL DRAFTING
(Exploratory) – One Quarter
TEACHING GUIDE
Grade Level Standard
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is one among the four (4)
components of Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE). One of the mini-courses
offered is Technical Drafting. This mini-course covers Process and Delivery (PD) and
the common competencies that a Grade 7 or Grade 8 Technology and Livelihood
Education (TLE) student ought to possess namely : 10 develop and update industry
knowledge and 2) perform basic technical drafting operations.
CONTENT STANDARD
The learner demonstrates understanding of basic concepts, skills and underlying
principles in Technical Drafting.
PERFORMANCE STANDARD
The learner independently demonstrates basic concepts, theories and competencies
in Technical Drafting as prescribed in the TESDA Training Regulation.
Learning Competencies
1. Formulate learning goals and targets aligned with Technical Drafting.
2. Explore , examine and apply the basic concepts , and underlying principles.
3. Explore career opportunities that require Technical Drafting skills.
I. INTRODUCTION
1. The teacher may start by asking the learners if they know somebody who is a
graphic artist , draftsman or layout artist .
2. If they know someone, ask them about what specific task she/he usually does.
3. After processing their answers, the teacher may now introduce Technical
Drafting.
II. OBJECTIVES
Guided by the teacher and this module the learner is expected to:
formulate your learning goals and targets in relation to technical drafting;
explore, examine and apply the basic concepts , underlying principles and
common competencies in technical drafting specifically using the AutoCAD .
apply the concepts and skills learned in technical drafting;
appreciate the relevance of learning the basic concepts and skills of technical
drafting.

1. PRE-ASSESSMENT
1. HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW . This is a pre-assessment activity to determine the
initial behaviour of the learners on Technical Drafting and Computer Aided Design
(CAD) .
2. LEARNING GOALS AND TARGETS
Explain to the learners the objectives of the module and encourage them to
think aloud and write their own learning goals. Emphasize that the objectives are
their model and provide scaffolds for the learners as they write their own learning
goals.
Based on the objectives of the lesson and results of the pre-assessment,
let the learners define their personal goals and targets to achieve at the end of this
module. Ask them to write their goals/targets in their journal/module.
3. PROCESS AND DELIVERY
A. Know Lesson 1
1. INTRODUCTION TO AUTOCAD
2. SELF –CHECK. The learners will check out their prior
knowledge about technical drafting. Use this as a
springboard to introduce the lesson.
Lesson 2
1. Drawing Lines with Line Command
Lesson 3
1. AutoCAD Drawing Commands
B. Process Lesson 1
1. NAME IT RIGHT. Let the learners label the parts of the
AutoCAD window and drawing window area.
2. HANDSON TIME. The learners will launch the AutoCAD
program in different ways.
Lesson 2.
1. HANDSON TIME. The learners will perform a handson
activity and they should be properly guided by the teacher.
Lesson 3
1. I CAN DO IT.
2
A.
1. Open an existing AutoCAD drawing
interface given by the teacher.
2. Draw a line using the AutoCAD Line
Command.
3. Draw a polyline using AutoCAD
Polyline Command.
4. Draw a circle using AutoCAD Circle
Command.
5. Save your work as (name, cad01)
1. Open an Auto Cad drawing interface.
2. Draw lines , polylines and circles to create a simple
image of your choice .
3. Save your work as (name, cad02).
1. Open an Auto Cad drawing interface.
2. Draw curves , rectangles and spline to create a
simple closed figure of your choice .
3. Save your work as (name, cad03).
C. Reflect and Lesson 1
Understand
DOWNLOAD AND WATCH . The learner will download and watch
a video on AutoCAD user interface.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gbLacjW90
After watching the video , let them answer the questions in the
module.
Lesson 2
SKETCH AND CONVERT. The learner will draw three polygons
of their choice in a bond paper . Apply their learning in AutoCAD
program , convert it into line segments focusing on the line
command.
Lesson 3
3
WATCH AND LEARN. Watch tutorial videos related to AutoCAD
through the specific URL given in the module (http://youtube /
YDiGd-HhY) and answer the questions.
1.
D. Transfer Lesson 1
1. CLASS PRESENTATION . Let the learner demonstrate
their knowledge on the different elemants of the AutoCAD
2. INTERVIEW SOMEONE. The learners will interview a
draftsman , an architect or an IT student who is
knowledgeable in CAD program or application. Ask
questions and take down notes. ( The teacher may provide
questions for the learners to ask.)
Lesson 2
CREATIVE DESIGNING. The learners will create a toolbox using
the AutoCAD line command.
Lesson 3.
THIS IS THE MOMENT. The learner will create a simple
house design using the basics of AutoCAD.
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
Design - 40%
Creativity and Originality - 30%
Layout - 30%
TOTAL 100%
4. SUMMARY
Technical Drafting and Computer Aided Design (CAD) are among the many
features of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) that is incorporated in
Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE).
This module enables you to learn the basic concepts, skills, techniques and
ethical standards of Technical Drafting with the use of AutoCAD. Your learning might
consequently help you become a good draftsman and designer in your community
which may serve as your source of income.
5. GLOSSARY
arc: Any portion of a circle; usually dimensioned according to the radius.
background: The first multiline you select to create a closed cross intersection.
base point: The initial reference point AutoCAD uses when stretching, moving,
copying, and scaling objects.
4
block: A symbol or shape saved and stored in a drawing for repeated use.
circle: A closed curve with a constant radius around a center point; usually
dimensioned according to the diameter.
