10-day AutoCAD training organized in Narasaraopeta Engineering College

NEW DELHI, JANUARY 31: To make students familiar with AutoCAD, a must know computer software for civil and mechanical engineers, a 10-day workshop on AutoCAD with hands-on training was organized by Narasaraopeta Engineering College, Guntur in association with Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC).

The college has been organizing regular workshops on subjects like Big Data, Machine learning, Artificial Intelligence, 3D printing, Aeromodelling, Industrial training, MATLAB etc. to nurture technical education. The college marked a step ahead with their 3D- Printing workshop in November last year.

Speaking about the scope of AutoCAD, M Chakravarthi, vice-chairman of the college said, “We have been pushing practical training among students and teachers with our workshops. The Auto CAD software is a crucial tool in planning and designing commercial and public structures like buildings, roads, drainage, pipelines, dams and so on. The software has found its application in manufacturing, mechanical, production engineering also. Rapid adaption of AutoCAD is a must to compete with the global markets. It allows, accuracy and speed in producing real-time powerful graphics models.”

Students from Civil Engineering (CE), Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) participated in the workshop. The objective of the workshop was to train the participants in analyzing engineering problems, optimize planning, and to make them explore the field for designing work. Participants were taught how to set up the workspace, make basic/common commands, and 2-D designing and drafting on AutoCAD. Certification was awarded to the participants at the end.
