    Ever since CAD software was invented the role of mechanical/electrical engineer and drafter has largely been merged into one.

      I would rather compare my point to the mechanical engineer who designs the mechanical system and the factory worker who actually builds the system with their hands.

      No to which part? If they are other engineering jobs with craftsmanship, I am curious about it.

          Doesn’t it take some years of study and then some years of practice with seniors to master it, just like a craft, except it is words instead of physical matter?
