| Course Overview : |
| |
Modules covered include basic and advanced AutoCAD 2006 techniques including 3D modeling. The first stage is the learning the essentials of the new AutoCAD software. This includes the features, commands and techniques for creating, editing and publishing drawings in AutoCAD 2006 with hands-on exercises designed for civil engineers. Candidates then undergo 3D training in AutoCAD for professional drawing, design and drafting. This includes features, commands and techniques for 3D creating, editing and publishing drawings with hands-on exercises. The AutoCAD programme concludes with training in advanced AutoCAD training.
|
STAAD.Pro is a powerful yet complex tool meant for professional engineers or architects. Several engineering firms request that the engineer know STAAD or a product similar to it. Training is delivered through lectures, tutorials and hands on computer lessons. Candidates are expected to complete 2 design projects towards the end of the course.
