Drafting or Draughting? - depends on your orientation. I've been working American aircraft for 30 years and the American English tends to rub off on you.
...what I do reject however is people who, for example, sit doing paperwork all day or any other non-engineering work being called "Engineers"
Our Head of Engineering attends meetings and does paperwork all day and I think the last time he used his tools on an aeroplane was about twenty years ago. I reckon he's still an Engineer though. Same goes for me - and neither of us has an engineering degree. My brother holds a PhD in Civil Engineering and he designs and builds power stations. He hasn't mixed any cement or laid a brick in thirty years, but don't try telling him he's not an Engineer.
