AutoCAD works as a computerized drawing board for designers. Computer aided designs are accurate in terms of scales and dimensions. Mostly used for designing space, the Mathematical features of the space are inputted into the computer to give a 2-dimensional representation of that space. To use AutoCAD, one should:
- Have a basic knowledge of the use of a computer
- Have the mental ability to represent a 3-dimensional space (optical view) on 2-dimensional spaces (computer screen or paper). In other words, be a designer
- Be knowledgeable about Math/Geometry
Custom Learning Package: Applicants can choose any module or combination of modules to learn based on interest/needs. We can also be contacted for advice on what combination will be useful for your career.
