Training Objectives: -

In construction industry, the manual drafting been replaced by the computer

aided drafting. Cumbersome and laborious manual drawing work which requires
costly printing / drawing instruments has now become quite easy and interesting
computer aided drawings / drafting. In view of new era, there is an urgent need for
development of such course.
This curriculum is developed with a view to produce the workforce to meet the
present and future demand of construction sector / industry by covering computer
aided drafting / drawing pertaining to the construction field keeping in view the
requirements of market demand by more focusing on practical and necessarily
required theoretical knowledge along with new subjects of functional English & work
ethics which would enable the pass outs to be absorbed in construction industry.
This curriculum covers the major topics of fundamental of civil technology,
engineering drawing, computer applications, auto CAD alongwith Functional
English & Work Ethics.
