AutoCAD course in Nepal

Overview

AutoCAD is a design software that is being used by many professionals for 2D design and 3D modeling of various goals and structural elements. This software is regularly updated to make it more user-friendly. Initially, this software was launched by Autodesk as an aiding tool for architects and civil engineers and now it is being used by professionals such as electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, Geomatics engineers, manufacturing engineers, fashion designers, and industrial engineers.

The AutoCAD course provides in-depth knowledge and the necessary skills to utilize AutoCAD tools efficiently.

It is a well-known fact that Nepal is a developing country that requires an efficient and economical development of various infrastructures such as hospitals, roads, electricity, and many more. Students are well familiar with the theoretical knowledge related to drawing and designing, however, many students are unskilled in using Computer Aided Software while developing those drafts with precision and efficiency.

This course mainly targets civil engineers, architects, interior designers, electrical engineers, and mechanical engineers in Nepal. AutoCAD subjects are taught while studying for a bachelor of engineering. Despite having theoretical engineering principles and scientific knowledge, it can be difficult for you to use AutoCAD in the professional field. The advantages of taking this course in Nepal are as follows:

• You can learn CAD within a very short time due to the user-friendly nature of AutoCAD.
• You can draw and design various infrastructures effectively and economically as a Nepalese engineer or architect.
• You can work as designers, tutors, or even entrepreneurs with the knowledge learned while completing this course.
• You can draft any blueprints at a great pace and accuracy for a construction company or engineering consultancy in Nepal.
• You can use the knowledge gained from this course to increase the probability of students being selected as a Gazetted officer of Nepal as some questions asked in the public service exam of Nepal are related to AutoCAD.

Program Structure

The curriculum of the AutoCAD course has been constructed in such a way that each student gets the required skills and prospects of AutoCAD software. The syllabus content is as follows:

• A basic introduction to AutoCAD
• Commands used in Drawing
• Commands that can be used during modification
• Layers Blocks
• Isometric Drawing
• 2D design
• 3D design

In general, there are two types of AutoCAD courses:

Diploma in AutoCAD: This is a six-month course in AutoCAD. This course can be very helpful to students who have completed plus two and have a desire to pursue a career in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, or fashion design.

Bachelor in AutoCAD: This is a 3-year undergraduate degree. This has not been introduced in Nepal till now.

However, many people in Nepal prefer to attend AutoCAD training courses as per their requirements. There are not any strict qualifications required to attend this training. Any individual who has an interest in learning AutoCAD after class 10, class 12, bachelor, master, or without any academic qualification can attend this training as per their requirements. The general AutoCAD training format adopted in Nepal is as follows:

Basic:

This course is useful to pupils who are entirely new to the AutoCAD software. While providing this course, students are taught how to install this software, become familiar with its versions and the drawing and modification tools, understand the precision and unit of drawing as per the profession, draw geometric shapes and design simple drawings. The duration of this course is about 7 to 10 days and the price range is between 3 to 5 thousand.

Intermediate:

Students are taught about the useful use of tools to reduce the repetition of tasks in the Intermediate course. They gain skills in the detailed design of the structure, construct various layers, and name those layers. They become familiar with working in layers and they can lock the layer and unlock the layers as per their requirements of work. Students also gain the skills to understand and draw isometric views of simple designs and drawings. The completion period of this course is around 10-20 days and the price range varies between 7-10 thousand.

Advanced:

This course deals with 3D designing and Municipal drawings. This course helps students learn about the detailing of complex structural elements. During this course, students are taught how to interact with files generated by other computer-aided software. Additionally, this course helps to understand the units and standards of measurement used in the local market. After completing this course, pupils can visualize the concept of any structure as per the requirement of the client and present results from multiple viewpoints. The period of this course is around 1 month and the price range is between 10 to 12 thousand.
