Question

In what type of Engineering is the Autocad useful?

Answer 1

AutoCAD alone is fundamentally a 2D technical drawing system good for layout drafting. Bolt-on limited 3D function came later. It is a popular tool for architectural and building design. But it is flexible enough to be used to some extent in any field.

AutoCAD is fully programmable/customisable. There are a number of add-on packages for other engineering fields like:

Mechanical & Mechanical Desktop - mechanical engineering

Architectural desktop - specialized architectural routines

Answer 2

All of them.  It's a basic skill all engineers should have.

Answer 3

Almost all of them. Though Mechanical Engineers and other Design Engineers use them extensively.

Answer 4

I use it quit a bit in work. we use Turbo cad. We are in electronics designing and engineering

Answer 5

Any kind of Engineering where you need to draw the pictures.  Which is pretty much all Engineering.

BTW, don't waste a lot of money on AutoCAD.  TurboCAD is every bit as good and it's a fraction of the price.
