AutoCAD Essentials for Engineers and Designers
This foundational course equips learners with the essential skills to use AutoCAD for 2D drafting and technical drawing. Through guided exercises and real-world design scenarios, students will develop the confidence to create professional blueprints, floor plans, and engineering layouts. Emphasis is placed on precision, layers, scaling, annotations, and drawing organization — key skills across the engineering, architecture, and construction sectors.
Introduction to the AutoCAD interface and workspace
Drawing basic geometric shapes and using modification tools
Layer management and line types
Annotation: dimensions, text, and symbols
Object snaps, tracking, and drawing aids
Working with templates and title blocks
Scaling and plotting drawings for print
Managing complex layouts using blocks and groups
Real-world drafting projects (floor plans, schematics)
Exporting and sharing drawings professionally
Students, civil engineers, architects, mechanical designers, and anyone starting out in the field of technical drawing and 2D drafting.

What Do AutoCAD Drafters Do?
A Day in the Life of an AutoCAD Drafter
Log In and Check Emails
Read project updates, client feedback, and redline markups from the engineering team.
Review Assigned Tasks
Check the drafting schedule or task management system for the day’s deliverables.
Open AutoCAD and Project Files
Load relevant base maps, existing drawings, and client-provided data for the assigned route.
Draft New OSP Fiber Layouts
Begin drawing proposed fiber routes, ducts, handholes, or pole lines based on the design plan.
Coordinate with Design Engineer
Hop on a quick call or chat to clarify specifications, design logic, or field notes.
Finalize Drafting and Layering
Completes the drawing by adding layers, annotations, fiber labels, and legends as per company standards.
QA Review of Completed Drawings
Self-review the drawing for accuracy, layer compliance, and alignment with redlines.
Submit for Internal QC or Supervisor Review
Send the file for quality check or uploads it to the shared folder/project portal.
Work on As-Built or Redline Corrections
Apply markups from completed construction work to convert design into as-built documents.
Update Drawing Logs and Notes
Log work completed, note pending clarifications, and update internal tracking sheets.
End-of-Day Wrap Up
Save all work, sync files to cloud/server, and sign off for the day.
