Deck 1: Introduction to Engineering Drawing and Design Test

Question 1

Define computer-aided design and drafting (CADD).

Answer 1

Computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) is the process of using a computer with CADD software for design and drafting applications.

Question 2

Describe the nature of work performed by drafters.

Answer 2

. Drafters prepare technical drawings and plans used by production and construction workers to build everything from microchips to skyscrapers. Drafters' drawings provide visual guidelines and show how to construct a product or structure. Drawings include technical details and specify dimensions, materials, and procedures. Drafters fill in technical details using drawings, rough sketches, specifications, and calculations made by engineers, surveyors, architects, or scientists.
