About the Course

The AutoCAD Know-How Course was created with the purpose of offering drawing tools to all who want to develop quality technical work. AutoCAD, from Autodesk, is computer-aided design software and has proven to be essential in supporting various areas such as architecture, civil engineering, and many others. From the moment someone feels the need to create a rigorous drawing, AutoCAD becomes essential, and learning this software is not complex. It only requires that commands gradually become familiar and that, as the student learns new commands, they can streamline the drawing creation process. And that’s exactly how the course will be structured, in small video sessions that progressively see their difficulty intensified, aggregated into training stage modules.

Objectives

With the complete training, each student should be able to create technical drawings and prepare a final result, either for printing on a printer or for assembling parts. The training will show how to achieve these results.

Assessment

At the end of each module, there is a quiz. Each one is worth 10%, totaling 60%. The remaining 40% will be assigned to the final quiz in module 7.

Certificate

A completion certificate will be awarded to students who have obtained at least 70% in the final grade.

Structure

The course will be divided into 6 modules (plus module 7 which contains only the final quiz) which, in turn, contain short informational sessions. At the end of each module, a quiz will be presented as a summary of the essential commands that have been shown and exemplified. The main objective of these questions is the possibility of recalling the general content of the entire module so that the main stages are recorded.
