This guide, developed in Oregon, lists competencies essential for students in computer-assisted drafting (CAD). Competencies are organized in eight categories: computer hardware, file usage and manipulation, basic drafting techniques, mechanical drafting, specialty disciplines, three dimensional drawing/design, plotting/printing, and advanced CAD. Each of the four to eight competencies in each category includes a competency statement that describes the performance standard required to demonstrate proficiency in that skill. (KC)
