Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the TLE 10 – Technical Drafting Module on Introduction

to Computer-Aided design System!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed
by its Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou
Concepcion A. Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig
through its mayor, Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized
the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential
Learning Competencies (MELC) in developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and

independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also
aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5
Cs, namely: Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and
Character while taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box
in the body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use

this module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while
allowing them to manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to
encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

 LESSON

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

Computer system can be broken down into two basic elements, the hardware
and the software.

A. HARDWARE is all the physical equipment that makes up the computer system.

It is divided into system hardware and peripherals. The system hardware

includes the Central Processing Unit (CPU), the keyboard, the monitor and primary
storage memory (RAM), and the secondary storage memory. Peripherals includes disk
drives, mouse, digitizers, printers/plotters, etc.

1. SYSTEM HARDWARE

a. SYSTEM UNIT – the main part of a microcomputer, is sometimes called

the chassis. It includes the following parts: motherboard, microprocessor,
memory chips, buses, ports, expansion slots and cards.

Sample Tower Type System

b. THE CENTRAL PROCESSOR UNIT (CPU) is the brain of the computer

where most of the “computing” takes place. It is also known as processor.
It performs all instructions and calculations that are needed to manage the
flow of information.

superuser.com en.wikichip.org

Sample of CPU
c. HARD DISK DRIVE (HDD) – it is also
known as hard drive. It is a magnetic
storage device that is installed inside the
computer. The hard drive is used as a
permanent storage for data. In a Windows
computer, the hard drive is usually
configured as the C: drive and contains the
operating system and applications. en.wikipedia.org

Sample HDD

d. KEYBOARD is the principal device for communicating with your

computer. All keyboards have letter keys, punctuation keys, and a space
bar which is similar to the keys on a typewriter. Keyboards also have
functions, numeric and arrow keys in additional to Alt, Ctrl, and Enter
keys.

Sample Keyboard

e. THE MONITOR – it has a screen that displays information, such as the

instruction you send to your computer and the information and results
your computer sends back after interpreting your instruction. A monitor
will not display its colors unless there is a video card fits inside your
computer. The video card determines the screen resolution and the
number of colors that the monitor can display.
 2. PERIPHERALS

a. MOUSE is a small hand-held device used to

control the cursor/crosshair on the screen.
They can be used to select an item by pointing
to it and clicking a button.

Mouse

b. PRINTER – it is an output device that used to print information processed

by your computer. Printers and plotters varies in speed and output
capabilities.

Ink-jet Printer Laser Printer

c. PLOTTER – an output device able to
produce better quality drawing prints
as compared to printer, however the
speed of plotter is generally slower than
printer.

Sample Plotter
B. SOFTWARE is the set of programs and other related applications associated with
a computer system.
A program is a coded set of instructions that interprets the information given
to the computer with the keyboard or mouse and directs the computer to carry a
task. Software can be categorized into two main groups: operating system software
and application software.
 1. OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE

The operating system software provides various levels of interaction

called interface) between the computer and the user, as well as between the
computer and the application software.
Every computer must have at least one OS to run other programs.

Sample OS

2. APPLICATION SOFTWARE

The application software also called programs, has a specific use or

task to perform such as AutoCAD for Architectural drawings and layouts, MS
Office for documents and spreadsheets, Adobe Photoshop for image
processing, and so on.

Sample Application Software

NOTES:
Remember these things before, during and after you work on your computer.

 Handle computer with extra care;

 No foods or drinks near the computer;
 Keep your files in good order;
 Log off properly every after use;
 Unplug the computer when not in use;
 Always save your work from time to time.

 WRAP–UP

A computer is a machine that is very essential in creating different things

such as documents, drawings, and other important jobs faster and easier
especially in the field of drafting. It is made of different essential parts to run
and function so that our ideas will turn into visible outputs.

What are the two basic parts of a computer? Differentiate each part.

Will the computer function in the absence of even one of the basic parts? Defend
your answer

VALUING

A computer is a delicate and sensitive equipment which needs extra care

and proper maintenance to prolong its life and usability. Discuss briefly how
you can take care of your computer.
