CAD is basically computer aided design. So basically any software that helps you to design is basically a CAD software so as to speak. But if you were referring to AUTO CAD which is a software primarily used for drawing and drafting purposes then that software is pretty useful.

Yup definitely it is very useful in engineering. Almost in all discipline Auto CAD is the standard software that engineers must be able to use.

CAD = Computer Aided Design, this means any software that help you to design something in the computer, could be different things, for example Autocad is a famous software useful for architecture or industrial design, but there are more than this, for example I know about electronics and I use software CAD type for make diagrams, design and simulate electronic or electrical circuits. So a CAD software is a program help you to make any kind of design in the computer... Hope it helps.

Yes CAD is a computer Aided Design which is very useful in engineering like AUTOCAD. AUTOCAD can use to design building infrastructure, electronics pcb layout, Architectural 3D modeling, mechanical design and etc. You can check the website of Autodesk for some reference about CAD.
