AutoCAD classes provide learning in software used for product and home
design. Classes in Auto CAD are typically offered for students seeking
careers in drafting or technical drawings.
The AutoCAD course will give students foundation knowledge in the use of
this powerful drafting software that is used across multiple designs,
architectural and engineering companies worldwide. Building up
Course Description knowledge about the essential drawing and drafting tools enables
students to leave the AutoCAD course with a confident foundation
knowledge that will allow them to explore the higher functionality this
software.
Students attending the course need to have an understanding of basic
Microsoft operating systems but do not need any previous CAD drafting.

The primary objective of this courseware is to teach the student the basic
commands necessary for 2D drawing, design, and drafting using AutoCAD.
Upon completion of the course, the student will:
• Become familiar with the AutoCAD user interface.
• Understand the fundamental concepts and features of AutoCAD.
Course objectives • Use the precision drafting tools in AutoCAD to develop accurate technical
drawings.
• Present drawings in a detailed and visually impressive manner.
• Develop a level of comfort and confidence with AutoCAD through hands-
on experience.

The student should attend the class so as to practice the software, absent
Student's obligation
student will lose activity marks, he/she must draw different drawings as a
homework whenever required.
Required Learning The form of teaching will be through using data show and white board for
Materials explanation or through educational videos that are prepared by the
lecturer, students will follow steps to use specific commands in the
software to draw any sketch or model.
