What is Drafting?

Drafting is the creation of technical drawings (or blueprints) that explain how a product is constructed. Most people associate drafting with the building construction industry, but every product maker relies on it. Originally done by hand, drafting is now often done with computer-aided design and drafting (CAD) software. Thanks to the advent of CAD, drafters and design engineers can work more efficiently and create more accurate drafts.

What is AutoCAD?

AutoCAD is CAD software made by Autodesk. It was the first app of its kind made for desktop computers and it is still one of the most popular. AutoCAD is the flagship app in a fleet of similar programs Autodesk makes for different industries.

CAD experience is valuable in any workplace that creates 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional products. These products can be as small as computer chips or as big as skyscrapers! An AutoCAD student may graduate to find opportunities in architecture, civil or electrical engineering, or electronics. There are even visual artists who use it for their creative works!
