Abstract	In this paper we will discuss ways to incorporate basic drafting principles in our introductory class and strengthen the students' learning experience through multiple courses in our engineering technology programs. Students will gain the basic knowledge of CAD in EGT 212 (ComputerAided Drafting and Design), and strengthen their learning experiences by applying their knowledge in other courses such as: EGT116 (Introduction to Manufacturing), 265 (Manufacturing Processes and Metrology), 365 (CNC & Manufacturing Process Planning), 405 (Metrology and Geometric Tolerancing), 465 (Automated Manufacturing Systems) and 380 (Machine Design). They will learn the advanced features of CAD in our advanced CAD design classes. There is no doubt in the benefits of computer generated graphics in teaching CAD. This course as well as other related courses in engineering/technology design will be taught with the constructivism teaching philosophy. Specialized literature abounds on ways to provide instruction on interpretation of technical drawings utilizing this method, A brief overview of the constructivist learning approach in CAD education is also discussed, offering another approach to this subject.
