dc.description.abstractThis study surveyed expectations of entry-level CAD skills and compared the results between interior design faculty and practitioners. Descriptive statistics indicate high levels of agreement on the importance of most knowledge areas and technical CAD skills. Despite this practitioners indicated that the CAD preparedness of recent entry-level employees was insufficient. Findings indicate that the majority of all skills surveyed were ranked 4 to 5 out of 5 with 5 being essential for entry-level practice. Without levels of priority, it is difficult for faculty to build curriculum that addresses the most essential components of CAD training needed to raise practitioner satisfaction levels. This study recommends additional research to rank CAD skills against each other to clarify levels of importance.
