AutoCAD, Piping VAD, Mechanical AutoCAD, Civil AutoCAD

Introduction

AutoCAD software is essential for students pursuing mechanical, chemical, electrical, or any other engineering-related fields such as Diploma, Degree, ITI, or 10th and 12th-grade students. At Excel Technical Institute, we offer a comprehensive one-month course that covers both software and theory aspects of AutoCAD. This course is designed to help students understand the fundamentals of drafting and designing in various industries. AutoCAD is a powerful tool used in creating precise 2D and 3D drawings, which is critical for engineers, architects, and designers. The software is widely used for drafting, designing, and modeling, making it an indispensable skill for students aiming to pursue careers in engineering, construction, or manufacturing.
Learning AutoCAD will not only enhance students’ technical skills but also prepare them for real-world applications, enabling them to visualize, plan, and execute engineering projects with accuracy and efficiency
