Well, I too could not resist this thread. I took drafting in my senior year (1967) as did all those who identified as wanting to be an engineer. I did OK. Even got hired by the city engineer and helped to redraw all of the city standards for sidewalks, driveway approaches, etc. However, I did go into EE and wound up with 3 degrees.
One of my professors was Gordon Bell (of Digital Equipment and PDP(3,8,11)fame and he had us learn Fortran by writing code which emulated the PDP 8 instruction set (anyone remember TAD?) And I had a Versalog slide rule, still in my desk. Needed to get this in before Eric shuts us down for going down memory.
