    AutoCAD is the most widely used computer-aided design (CAD) software for producing architectural, engineering, and construction drawings. This program will teach the core topics required for preparing professional drawings using AutoCAD.
    Learn to navigate the AutoCAD workspace and use basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools of the software. You will organize drawing objects on layers and insert reusable blocks. Prepare layouts to plot and add text, hatching, and dimensions. You will complete a hands-on project in this program that can be used as a foundation for your professional portfolio. Textbook is required at the first class meeting and is available at the KSU Center bookstore.
    Learning Outcomes:
    • Demonstrate basic drawing and editing commands
    • Organize drawings using layers
    • Create advanced object types such as arcs, polylines, polygons, and ellipses
    • Set up and organize layouts in AutoCAD
    • Create and edit text in a drawing
    • Apply dimensions to drawings
    • Demonstrate how to annotate drawings
    Prerequisite: High school diploma or equivalent. Working knowledge of computers and access to computer and Internet are required.
    Students should have a working knowledge of computers. Access to the AutoCAD software outside of class is recommended, but not required for successful completion. We strongly recommend that students have access to a Windows computer for this class. MAC computers are not recommended.

    Demetrius Franklin

    Demetrius Franklin is an award-winning mechanical designer with over 30 years of experience using AutoCAD software. He is an industry expert in two-dimensional and three-dimensional software, developing CAD projects for clients worldwide in the hydrogen, chemical, wastewater, refinery, steam, and power industries. Demetrius currently serves as BIM Coordinator for an engineering consulting firm in Johns Creek, GA, on a $550,000 million capital budget project, the largest in the company’s history. In addition to AutoCAD, Demetrius is proficient in AutoCAD Plant3D, BIM 360, Navisworks Bentley AutoPlant, and Hexagon CADWorx.

    In addition to his love for CAD projects, Demetrius inspires the next generation of CAD designers to become part of the architectural, engineering, and construction communities to take up the mantle of designing challenging projects to improve the world’s infrastructure. Demetrius served in several leadership roles in the private sector, including cad manager, software administrator, and AutoCAD trainer. Demetrius was invited in 2011 by Power Magazine to conduct a live one-hour webinar on how engineering firms can generate ROI with CAD software. Later that year, Demetrius was interviewed by Power-Technology Magazine to compare the difference between 2D drafting and 3D Modeling.

    Demetrius is passionate about education, serving on the Chattahoochee Tech Drafting Advisory Committee (2011) and the Georgia Piedmont Technical College Drafting Advisory Committee (2011) to help faculty develop curriculum to empower students to apply real-world design problems to classroom materials. Demetrius received a bachelor’s degree in management from Kennesaw State University. In the long term, Demetrius plans to seek his Ph.D. degree to enhance his research skills and inspire students full-time by engaging them before they enter the workforce.
