Graphic engineering drafting with CADD is the process of creating technical drawings so that the image can be produced. It can be anything from manufactured items such as toasters, to structures such as buildings. Computer-aided drafting and design (CADD) systems employ computers to create and store drawings that can then be viewed, printed, or programmed directly into automated manufacturing systems.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, employers prefer applicants who have completed postsecondary school training in drafting. Employers are most interested in applicants with well-developed drafting and mechanical drawing skills; knowledge of drafting standards, mathematics, science, and engineering technology; and a solid background in CADD techniques.* TESST College of Technology can provide the education and training that could enable you to become a drafter with CADD.
