CADD Competency Guidance Resource
Class
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#CADDCompetencyGuidanceResource
Definition
Professional guidance addressing the requisite background, education, training, and limitations engineers must understand when using Computer Aided Drafting and Design systems in professional practice, including the distinction between using such tools as aids versus substitutes for professional judgment.
Inherited from AIToolUseGuidanceResource
Professional guidance, policy statements, or documented norms addressing the appropriate use of artificial intelligence tools in engineering practice, including disclosure obligations, accuracy verification requirements, and professional responsibility when AI-generated content is incorporated into deliverables.

CADD competency guidance is a variant of the existing AI Tool Use Guidance Resource class, which covers professional guidance on appropriate use of computational and AI tools including disclosure obligations, accuracy verification, and professional responsibility. CADD predates modern AI but the class definition is broad enough to encompass it as a subtype.

It is critical for engineers to fully understand the role that new technologies such as CADD will play in the performance of professional services.
The change to CADD provides the BER with concerns that require assurance that the professional engineer has the requisite background, education and training to be proficient with the dynamics of CADD including the limitations of current technology.
