Abstract

The limited availability of innovative learning materials remains a challenge in vocational technical drawing instruction. Most resources emphasize software operation, offering little support for creativity and 21st-century skill development. To address this gap, this study developed and validated a STEM-based AutoCAD 3D module using a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) approach. The research applied the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), with emphasis on the first three stages. Module validation was conducted by subject matter and media experts, while practicality testing involved Electrical Engineering students at a vocational higher education institution. Results indicated high validity in content, instructional design, and user-friendliness. Students also reported the module as practical, clear, interactive, and supportive of independent learning. These findings demonstrate that the STEM-PjBL AutoCAD 3D module is feasible for technical drawing instruction and contributes to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4.4 by enhancing technical and vocational skills relevant to the workforce.
