Drafting and engineering design is the practice of creating precise technical drawings and specifications for buildings, machines, products, or infrastructure, traditionally using tools like T-squares and now primarily computer-aided design (CAD) software. It's a core skill for architects, mechanical and civil engineers, and designers who need to communicate exact dimensions, materials, and construction details. Practitioners use it to translate conceptual ideas into buildable, manufacturable plans.
