| Rationale:      | Civil  engineering  drawings  and  visual  representations  are  often  created  using  computer-aided  drafting  before  construction.  Advancements  in  civil  engineering  structures have led to new features in structures. Additionally, the structural design  has been updated. This highlights the significance of drawing and drafting software  for visualizing structures and enhancing comprehension. In addition, user-friendly  sketching  software  has  become  essential  due  to  technological  advancements.  Knowledge  of  Computer  Aided  Drafting  is  now  more  crucial  than  ever.  Civil  Engineers  use  drawing  to  efficiently  represent  engineering  information  such  as  plans,  elevations,  sections,  foundations,  and  construction  elements  for  client  and  authority.  Computer-aided  drafting  (CA  Drafting)  simplifies  and  significantly  reduces  the  time  required  for  drawing  preparation.   The use of CAD technologies such as AutoCAD and REVIT, have simplified civil  engineering drawings and saved time. Knowledge of the above software is required  to  increase  employability  for  diploma  engineers. |
