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.

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.
