<p>Just wanting to know since I'm going to college this fall as a CivE major, and I know next to nothing about it.</p>
<p>Yes, always! In fact, most civ programs used to teach drafting, back in the old days. (No time anymore, apparently.)</p>
<p>Having a good working knowledge of CAD programs like AutoCAD and Microstation is a good idea, but most firms have in-house drafting professionals if CAD programs are used with any frequency.</p>
<p>Hey, I know how to use CAD! Thank goodness I took that "intro to tech" class. Very helpful.</p>
