OBJECTIVES:

To introduce the students to draft the plan, elevation and sectional views of buildings in accordance with development and control rules satisfying orientation and functional requirements as per National Building Code.

CAD means Computer Aided Design or Drafting. Auto cad is most widely used software developed by auto desk. Auto cad is a drafting package in almost all engineering branches. There are drafting packages like cad are DIAP, CAMD, and Delights. Auto cad is one of the most popular cad packages. It is a general purpose computer aided design. We can draw geometrical entries like plan, section and elevation of a building.

OUTCOMES:

The students will be able to draft the plan, elevation and sectional views of the buildings, industrial structures, and framed buildings using computer software.
