 This module was designed and written with you in mind. This module will assist you in
measuring and calculating various storage devices that apply the four (4) fundamental mathematical
process. In several different learning environments, the scope of this module allows it to be included.

You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order to complete each of the
learning outcomes of the module. Follow these activities on your own and answer the given Task at
the end of each learning activity.

The module is divided into four learning outcomes, namely:

• LO 1 – Identify and interpret different kinds of technical drawings

• LO 2 – Prepare/ make changes to electrical/ electronic schematics and drawings
• LO 3 – Store technical drawings and equipment/ instruments

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Select correct technical drawing in accordance with the job requirement
2. Segregate technical drawings in accordance with the types and kinds of drawings
3. Check and validate drawing against job requirements or equipment in accordance with
standard operating procedures
4. Draw and identify correctly electrical/ electronic schematic
5. Identify correct drawing; select and use equipment in accordance with job requirements

FLOWCHART
A flowchart is a diagram that uses graphic symbols to depict the nature and flow of the steps in a
process. Another name for this tool is "flow diagram." A flowchart is commonly used by systems
analysts to visualize, to design, and to troubleshoot or improves an existing system.
What Are the Elements of a Flowchart?
1. Terminator - represented by a small rectangle with curved corners. It appears at the start
and at the end of a flowchart.

3
 2. Process - represented by a rectangle. It refers to an action in a business process. It must
be described clearly and concisely. A process can be described using a single verb-noun
phrase (e.g. Order Office Supplies).
3. Sub-process - represented by a rectangle with double lines on each side. A sub process is
a major process that could be broken up into simpler processes developed into another
flowchart.
4. Decision - represented by a diamond and can answer a decision of "yes" or "no".
5. Connector - represented by a small circle or a connector box and is labelled using letters to
ensure that the processes are connected logically and correctly on several pages.
6. Arrow Lines - drawn in one direction, preferably from top to bottom, keep a flowchart clear.

Basic Flowchart Symbols

The symbols that are commonly used in flowcharts have specific meanings and are connected by
arrows indicating the flow from one step to another:

Symbol Name Description

Ovals indicate both the starting

Oval point and the ending point of the
process steps.

A box represents an individual step

Box
or activity in the process.

A diamond shows a decision point,

such as yes/no or go/no-go. Each
Diamond path emerging from the diamond
must be labeled with one of the
possible answers.

A circle indicates that a particular

step is connected to another page
Circle or part of the Flowchart. A letter
placed in the circle clarifies the
continuation.

A triangle shows where an in-

Triangle
process measurement occurs.

Interpret Technical Drawing

How do you interpret flowcharts?
A Flowchart will help you understand your process and uncover ways to improve it only if you use it
to analyze what is happening. Interpreting your Flowchart will help you to :
• Determine who is involved in the process.
• Form theories about root causes
• Identify ways to streamline the process.
• Determine how to implement changes to the process.
• Locate cost-added-only steps.
• Provide training on how the process works or should work.
Below is a sequence of steps that will help you through an orderly analysis of your flowchart.
Step 1 - Examine each process step for the conditions that indicate a need to improve the
process.
Step 2 - Examine each decision symbol. You may want to collect data on how often there is a
"yes" or "no" answer at decision points marked by a diamond shaped symbol. If most decisions go
one way rather than the other, you may be able to remove this decision point.
Step 3 - Examine each activity symbol if the step help build a key quality characteristic into the
process and if not, consider eliminating it.

Types of flowchart
1. Linear Flowchart is a diagram that displays the sequence of work steps that make up a process
which can help identify redundant or unnecessary steps within a process.
2. Deployment Flowchart shows the actual process flow and identifies the people or groups
involved at each step.

5
How do we construct a linear flowchart?
The following are the seven steps for developing a linear flowchart
1. Define the process to be flowcharted, and the purpose for flowcharting it.
2. Assemble the right people to develop the flowchart—those operators, technicians or
office workers who are actually involved in the process.
3. Establish process boundaries—the starting and ending points. Identify the activities
or sub processes that are included in the process.
4. List the steps, activities, and decisions to be charted. If your team is not sure about
a step, mark it to be investigated later.
5. Put the steps in chronological sequence. Sometimes it's easier to start with the last
step and work back to the first step.
6. Assign flowchart symbols such as boxes, diamonds, and triangles.
7. Review and title the Flowchart.

A. Directions: Draw the symbol of the following elements. Write you answer in your notebook.
1. Indicates that a particular step is connected to another page or part of the
flowchart.
2. Shows a decision point, such as yes/no or go/no go.
3. Indicates both the starting point and the ending point of the process steps.
4. Shows where an in-process measurement occurs.
5. Represents an individual step or activity in the process.
B. Direction: Describe the following elements of a flowchart.
1. Terminator
2. Process
3. Sub-process
4. Arrow line
5. Decision

Directions: In Five (5) to Ten (10) sentences, analyze the importance of using flowchart. How
does it affect the procedures or steps you are going to take? Write your answer in your notebook.

Lesson
Electrical/Electronic Schematic
4.2
To produce a quality and marketable electronic diagram, you have to follow the Electronic
Drafting Standards which is the process of illustrating various kinds of circuits and wiring systems.
Schematic diagrams are one of the most common graphical languages used to explain components
in circuits.

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
Circuit or schematic diagrams consist of symbols representing wires or electrical
conductors representing physical components and lines. It is important to understand what
the schematic symbol of a component looks like to learn how to interpret a circuit diagram.
Circuit Symbols and Physical Components

Each electronic or electrical component is represented by a symbol as can be seen

in this simple circuit diagram. Lines used to connect the symbols represent conductors or
wires. Each symbol represents a physical component that may look as follows.

Symbol Physical
Battery

Bulb

Wire

Component References
In a circuit, components should always have
references used to classify the components in the
circuit, often called reference designators. This makes
it possible to reference the components easily in text or
in a list of components. The reference designator
"BAT" could be a battery and a light bulb could have a
reference "L".
Because in a circuit there may be more than
one battery or light bulb, reference designators will
typically always end with a number, e.g. As shown in the circuit below, BAT1 and L1. In the circuit, a
second light bulb will then have the reference designator L2.
9
Parallel Circuit Example

Two light bulbs are linked parallel to a battery power

source in the circuit example. The top terminals of the two light
bulbs and the positive terminal of the battery are connected. We
know that since there is a node where they converge at the
three terminals or connection points. The bottom terminals of
the bulbs are connected and the negative terminal of the battery
because the second node shows these connections.

Series Circuit Example

Two light bulbs are attached in sequence in the series circuit.
In this circuit, no nodes are required to display the connecting bulbs
and the battery since single wires link straight to each other. Nodes
are mounted only if there are three or more wires attached.
