Because I was in a liberal arts curriculum for my BS I never had to take the time intensive college level mechanical drawing required of engineering students at the time. But, when the need arises I can sketch a recognizable representation of a three dimensional view by pencil - with a few erasures. That was sufficient for my needs in my profession.
What is needed for students to qualify for entry level jobs is just a basic understanding of the presentation system underlying the drawing. A good drawing is an art work. An old engineering maxim is: "The art of engineering is in the presentation." That is true, even though there is a lot of bad art in that market. But the students don't need to be artists to succeed, though some are. "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
