Improvement in information and communication technology has revolutionized professions such as architecture, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering in a big way. Computer Aided Design, also known as doing CAD drafting jobs, entails the use of a computer system to come up with schematic drawings of building, roads and bridges amongst others. There are a number of drafting technology schools that have been setup to train those individuals interested in CAD architectural drafting jobs both locally and internationally.

Subjects taught in these schools incorporates both manual and computer aided drafting, i.e. 2D and 3D technology, residential and commercial drafting. After successfully graduating with a degree, you can be eligible to work as a drafter, CAD operator in aerospace, architecture and government, and as a detailer.
