What is AutoCAD? AutoCAD is a software for 2D and 3D computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting. AutoCAD is a computer-aided drafting software program that enables you to create precise 2D and 3D drawings used in construction, manufacturing, and engineering designs. It is mostly required by industries, including architectural project managers and engineering industries. Because Civil Engineers build roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings, they would work heavily with AutoCAD.

It includes a powerful set of features to improve workflow and create true-to-life maps, diagrams, structures and schematics. CAD software is both design and analysis. The design is needed to create models and prepare for component production, and the analysis helps calculate stress levels, the influence of forces, and the influences of finite elements in a design. According to a General Electric survey, 60% of manufactured parts errors were related to incomplete, ambiguous or impossible drafts -- problems easily corrected with the support of software like AutoCAD. What Can AutoCAD Do? AutoCAD Price: $4195 New or $2935 Upgrade

Slide 7

Makes things Easier At the early design stage, mechanical engineers can use AutoCAD to start sketching and analyzing ideas to find the best solution for a problem. AutoCAD makes the process quick and easy; you dont need to draw new blueprints for each version of an idea and it makes redesigns easy. AutoCAD also helps interpret these designs, locating flaws, errors, and inconsistencies the mechanical engineer might miss. Alternatively, the mechanical engineer can use AutoCAD to figure out the source of a malfunction in a product by putting in the specifications and allowing the AutoCAD to find the problem. This allows the engineer to be more efficient by going straight to the problem and finding a fix.

AutoCAD Certification The Autodesk Certification program was created to validate the skills and knowledge of anyonestudent or professionalwho uses Autodesk software. Autodesk Certification can enhance the competitive edge and reputation of organizations who adopt its use, while giving an industry accepted credential that students and professionals can use to gain academic success and advance their careers. $125

Metric System The metric system is the globally agreed upon world standard for measurement. Not only is it used by scientists throughout the world, but most nations have adopted it as their standard of measurement. It was introduced by the French First Republic in 1799.

Imperial System A system of measurement used in the United Kingdom (Britain) and other Commonwealth countries, now surpassed by the metric system; similar to the system currently used in the United States; consisting of units such as the inch, the mile, and the pound (a unit of weight).

Length is the longest dimension of an object. Centimeters, inches, meters, feet, yards, kilometers, miles Weight of an object is usually taken to be the force on the object due to gravity. Grams, kilograms, ounces, pounds, tons Mass describes the amount of matter in an object. Mass is not the same as weight, even though we commonly calculate an object's mass by measuring its weight. A man standing on the Moon would weigh less than he would on Earth because of less gravity, but he would have the same mass. A material's Density is defined as its mass per unit volume. It is, essentially, a measurement of how tightly matter is crammed together. grams per cubic centimeter ( g/cm3 ) or grams per milliliter ( g/mL ) Time is a measure in which events can be ordered from the past through the present into the future, and also the measure of durations of events and the intervals between them. Time is one of four dimensions, in addition to the dimensions of space. Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks, Months, Years, Decade, Century, Millennium Length, Weight, Mass, Density, Time
