Introduction to AutoCAD
Course Code: CIV 5655


This course introduces the student to the concept of Computer-Aided Drawing using the industry standard AutoCAD for Windows. The course is designed to help engineering professionals, facilities managers, plant engineers, building owners, HVAC technicians, and maintenance personnel to convey sketches and ideas in a professional manner. Topics include an overview of computer hardware; common problems and solutions; file structure; setting up new drawings; drawing coordinate title blocks; layer concepts; block creation; and editing and text tools. Printing of all drawings and projects will provide students with a complete portfolio of their work. Most of the drawings will be completed in class, but some homework assignments will require the student to use AutoCAD for their completion. The computer labs are available to students after hours for this purpose.
