AutoCAD module will teach the students to handle the software with the basic tools and they will learn how to plan and draft 2D drawings, which will then advance up to the 3D designs level.
ETABS is a highly efficient Finite Element Analysis based analysis and design program developed especially for building systems. It is loaded with an integrated system with an ability to handle the largest and most complex building models and configurations. The software has powerful CAD-like drawing tools with a graphical and object-based interface. It increases the productivity of structural engineers. It saves a significant amount of time and money over the general-purpose programs.
