AutoCAD for Electrical Systems Design

A hands-on programme in AutoCAD Electrical: symbols, circuits, wiring systems, bills of quantity, and substation line diagrams — taught over Two weeks (30 Hours) at DSP Lab, Pengo Block.

Introduction

This short course in AutoCAD Electrical is designed to input essential knowledge, skills and competency in the use of AutoCAD software for designing electrical components and systems.

Other professionals offer these skills at high cost. St. Joseph University will offer these skills at very low cost during the first year of provision.

There will be different phases (rounds), each with a maximum duration of 2 weeks.

After the program, all participants will be given a certificate of completion.

Course Content — Bill of Quantities
