evolution of Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) softwareplays a central role in shaping drawing classes in several ways. First, industry has migratedalmost universally to CADD as a method of design and documentation, and expects engineeringgraduates to be competent in its use. Second, ever-more powerful CADD tools bring with themthe possibility of new teaching methods. Finally, the rate of change in technology requires anEngineering Technology program to continually refresh its curriculum in order to best meet theneeds of its students.This paper illustrates a procedure for re-configuring a first-year Engineering Technologydrawing course in a way that connects instructional activities and exercises with clearly-definedgoals based on industry

. IntroductionAutomation is becoming part and parcel of every industry, and industries need a trained workforce tomanage this new development. Engineering and technology graduates must have a comprehensivebackground covering a wider range of technical subjects. The graduates must be proficient in the use ofengineering and scientific equipment, conducting experiments, collecting data, and effectivelypresenting the results 1, 2, 3, 4. Furthermore, these graduates must be well-trained in courses andlaboratories such as electric and electronic circuits; digital systems and microprocessors; computerprogramming; computer aided design; computer organization and architecture; electronic and datacommunications; networking; control and robotics; electric machines and power
