The CAD Basics course introduces you to the fundamental tools and techniques of computer-aided design (CAD) for creating professional 2D drawings and 3D models. You’ll gain hands-on experience with popular CAD software, enabling you to visualize ideas, draft designs accurately, and communicate technical concepts effectively—an essential skill for engineering, architecture, and product design.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the fundamental features and workflow of CAD software
• Create precise 2D engineering drawings using drafting tools
• Build and modify basic 3D models for visualization
• Apply standard dimensioning and annotation techniques
• Visualize designs in multiple views and realistic rendering styles
• Gain confidence to begin more advanced CAD drafting and modeling work

Engineering students, product designers, and technical professionals.

Whether you're planning a career in engineering, product design, or architecture, strong CAD skills are essential. This course gives you the foundational knowledge you need to begin designing with precision and clarity. Through hands-on training using industry-standard software, you'll learn by doing, guided by experts with real-world experience. Ideal for beginners, it helps you bridge the gap between ideas and executable designs while preparing you for further specialization or on-the-job application.
