http://proethica.org/ontology/case/120#Engineer_A_Technology_Non-Substitution_CADD_Use
Definition
Engineer A uses the CADD system as a tool to prepare documents, retaining personal authorship and professional judgment throughout, so that the technology assists rather than replaces engineering judgment.

http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#TechnologySubstitutionProhibitionPrinciple
Applied to
CADD system used in document preparation
Concrete expression
Engineer A uses the CADD system as a tool to prepare documents, retaining personal authorship and professional judgment throughout, so that the technology assists rather than replaces engineering judgment.
Confidence
0.87
Interpretation
Personal preparation using CADD is the paradigm case of appropriate technology use: the engineer's judgment drives the work and the tool executes it, satisfying the prohibition on technology substitution.
Tension resolution
No tension arises because the engineer remains the intellectual author of the work.
Match Confidence
0.91
Match Reasoning
Via class 'Technology Substitution Prohibition Principle': The existing ontology class 'Technology Substitution Prohibition Principle' directly addresses the prohibition on using technological tools as a substitute for independent engineering judgment. The CADD context in this case is a canonical instance of that principle: the question is whether the engineer's use of CADD, or supervision of others using CADD, constitutes genuine professional judgment or mere technological reliance. The existing class covers this concept fully.
