advancement of computer technology, manyuniversities have deemphasized freehand sketching and technical drawing skills over computer-aided drawing programs. The objective of this research is to determine the students’ perceptionof the helpfulness of freehand and technical drawing assignments and correlate these perceptionsof understanding computer-aided drawing programs. Students who completed a first-year civilengineering graphics course in the Fall of 2021 and former students who had previously takenthe class will be surveyed as to the effectiveness of this process.Transition to CADThe author has taught civil engineering graphics for thirty-four years and has experienced thebenefits of having students complete drawings using freehand sketching
