I would go for a 15". 13" is lighter but CAD projects need some screen space. My Senior engineering D started out with a Macbook but there were some pieces of software that didn’t work well on the Mac. She’s currently using an ASUS that sells on amazon for $900 (ASUS S510UN-EH76 VivoBook S 15.6" Full HD Laptop, Intel Core i7-8550U, NVIDIA GeForce MX150, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD, Windows 10) and has no complaints so for $1500 you should be sitting pretty.
