Course Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use a range of computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) program functions to produce drawings. The focus of this unit is on the technical skills required to operate CADD, not on design skills.
It applies to individuals who use computer-aided drawing skills in various contexts.
