Course Title: 3D AUTOCAD (Skill Development)

Course Duration: 2 Months (Part-Time)

Course Overview:

This 2-month part-time course focuses on developing skills in 3D AutoCAD for individuals aiming for self-employment or seeking to enhance their career in the design industry. The course is designed for Indian students, taking into account the local job market and entrepreneurial opportunities. Students will learn from the basics of AutoCAD to advanced 3D modelling, ensuring they are equipped to tackle real-world projects.                                                                    

Course Objectives:

1. Equip students with fundamental skills in 3D AutoCAD software for drafting and design.
2. Provide hands-on experience in creating 2D and 3D models to support self-employment or career growth.
3. Help students develop essential design skills that can be applied in industries like architecture, engineering, interior design, and manufacturing.
4. Build confidence in using AutoCAD to create professional-grade designs and drawings.

Course Methodology:

1. Blended Learning Approach: A combination of in-person and online classes (if needed) to offer flexibility.
2. Practical Hands-on Training: Focused on project-based learning, with real-world assignments and case studies.
3. Interactive Learning: Regular practice sessions and workshops to improve students’ understanding and technical skills.
4. Personalized Learning: Course content can be tailored based on the students’ background, location, or specific industry needs.
5. Assessments: Weekly quizzes, design challenges, and a final project will evaluate students' grasp of the concepts.

Course Importance for Learners:

• Skill Enhancement: The course equips students with a sought-after technical skill that can be directly applied to the job market or self-employment.
• Industry Relevance: 3D AutoCAD skills are critical in many industries, from construction to manufacturing, making learners highly employable.
• Flexibility: By mastering AutoCAD, students can choose between freelancing or working with established companies, offering them flexibility in their career paths.
• Portfolio Development: Learners will develop a portfolio of work during the course, which can be used to demonstrate skills to potential clients or employers.

 Career Growth & Self-Employment Opportunities:

1. Freelancing: Students can start their own business offering AutoCAD services such as drafting, 3D modeling, and design to clients in industries like architecture, interior design, and manufacturing.
2. Entrepreneurship: The skills gained can help students establish their own design firms, working independently on projects like home interiors, furniture design, or mechanical components.
3. Employment: With advanced 3D AutoCAD skills, students can pursue jobs in architecture firms, engineering consultancies, or manufacturing companies.
4. Continuous Learning: This course lays a foundation for further studies or specialization in areas like 3D visualization, BIM (Building Information Modeling), or civil design.
