Assessment of the Use of AutoCAD in Mechanical Engineering Technical Drawing Education

Assessment of the Use of AutoCAD in Mechanical Engineering Technical Drawing Education

AutoCAD is one of the widely used software tools in engineering education. In this study, a general assessment of AutoCAD for the usage in the mechanical engineering technical drawing education is made. AutoCAD is assessed in terms of the fulfilment of the requirements defined for the main two technical drawing courses. AutoCAD is assessed in terms of its capability in meeting the requirements of the technical drawing courses.
