ABSTRACT

Due to the current technological development and changing demands in the society

and labour market it become necessary for teaching and learning to devices the means for

overcoming the challenges in technology education and in particular technical drawing/graphic

these could only be successful through sound pedagogy and information computer technology

(ICT).

INTRODUCTION

What is technical drawing and what are the advantages of using it?

Technical Drawing is the art or skill of creating a plan as such that a person can visualize and

follow how it needs to be carried out. This is also known as Draughting or Drafting and through

this process. instead of writing and/or explaining the process of how something would be created

or performed, the functions and features are explained with the help of a drawing. The person

who creates these drawings are known as a draughtsman, draftsperson, or drafter and if the

person is a professional, he or she is then known as a drafting technician.

Technical Drawing is most commonly practiced by architects and engineers but is also

used by teachers, interior designers, product designers, construction workers, plumbers,

electricians, and pretty much anyone who builds or creates things. Even programmers and app

designers may use their own brand of technical drawing.

According to EDUKASYON.Ph "Technical Drafting program is designed to introduce

students to the Technical Drafting field. In the Drafting-Computer Aided certificate students will

learn basic drafting and AutoCAD skills applicable to gener- al drafting positions. The Drafting-

Intermediate certificate introduces students to specialized skills for archi- tectural drafting.

Courses in the secondary Technical Drafting program are for high school credits only and will be

shown on the student’s high school transcript. Through an articulation agreement with DMTC,

students may then enroll in college courses to spe- cialize in Civil CAD, Architectural CADD, or

Mechanical CAD drafting technology, where they gain a basic foundation in each of those

disciplines. Drafters prepare technical drawings and plans used to build everything from

manufactured products, machinery, houses and office buildings to pipelines and roads. Most

drafters use Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CAD) systems to prepare drawings. Within

the drafting occupation there are a number of specialties, including: aeronautical, architectural,

civil, electrical, electronics, mechanical, and process piping or pipelines. All of these require

mechanical ability and visual aptitude. An ability to draw well and perform detailed work

accurately and neatly is also important. In addition, drafters will be working with other

professionals and cus- tomers and need to have good interpersonal skills. Revised 3/29/17

Training in technical drafting can help prepare individuals for a variety of related career

opportunities. URL:www.EDUKASYON.Ph.com

Fast modication, addition, and deletion

Fast modification, addition, and deletion In any design process, it’s rare that the first

draft is the one that’s kept for the final rendering of a project. A drawing usually needs to be

looked over several times so that each trade working on the project can adjust it according to

their own needs. Computer-assisted drawing therefore offers you the great advantage of being

able to make multiple modifications, additions, or deletions of elements quickly and easily,

without ruining the whole drawing. Unlike handmade drawings, modifying a computer-assisted

drawing doesn’t require completely reproducing it.

History of Technical Drafting

According to DRAFTING AND DESIGN drafting history goes back to 2000 BC,

when a fossilized plan was found showing an aerial view of a Babylonian fortress. Ever since

man has been building, erecting or fabricating, man has conveyed technical information about

the project. Today we may still make maps, but the twenty-first century designer uses his or her

technical communication skills by applying an international language of art and graphics to

convey information. Drafting uses a strict set of standards and rules, so when a technical picture

is created on the drawing board or on CAD, it can be universally understood. A designer

communicates ideas, concepts and facts pictorially so that others can manufacture, fabricate,

build or construct from these illustrations.

You can use the drafting techniques for Architecture and Engineering.
