Course Objectives:

The course Architectural & Civil CAD (ACAD) designed and operated under IDB-BISEW scholarship will prepare the ACAD graduates to work with professional architects and engineers in the design, drafting and layout of buildings, roads and utilities. Professional computer aided design, modelling and drafting software are taught in this course to facilitate the trainees in understanding these tools to design, model and drafting of buildings and building components in architectural and civil sectors.

Completing this course, a trainee will be able to demonstrate strong communication, critical thinking, and team participation skills by describing how to relate drawing and design information to the public and contractors, communicate effectively with architects, engineers, and other building professionals, and use interpersonal and team building skills for effective co-worker and client relationships.

This course also teaches a trainee how to enhance a final CAD presentation through professional image enhancement software like Adobe Photoshop.

Furthermore, at the final stage of this course, trainees learn project management skills using Microsoft Project software which will enable them to lead a project when working in their professional venues.
