Type of Assessment - Part A
Intermediate tests and final oral examination.
Type of Assessment - Part B
Intermediate tests and final oral examination. Acquisition of Badges from the Moodle platform.
Intermediate tests are counted for final vote.
Intermediate tests remain valid in the following academic years.
Evaluation criteria: in written tests with open questions or carrying out calculations, the unsuccessful answer and the wrong answer are equally counted.
Evaluation parameters for the oral examination: ability to illustrate the concepts apprehended in a coherent discourse; ability to apply critical reasoning to the case studies covered; completeness of the acquired knowledge; competent use of specialist vocabulary.
Course program - Part A
This AutoCAD training course is specifically based on the beginner’s level of understanding and teaches the learners the basic properties of AutoCAD. The program is used to create 2D Computer-aided designs. The program is used generally used by architectural and engineering students to create blueprints and designs of their projects and models before getting it into the real world. In the training, we applied the needs of agronomists. The sole aim of this course is to teach the students the user interface and the tools of AutoCAD before they take much deeper and advanced learning on the software.
The first part of the course highlights the 2D Essential used in AutoCAD. This part contains and covers a lot of topics based on 2D development and the creation of models. Starting with required installing the same on the operating systems. The first part moves towards the user interface and the whole working of the software. It teaches the Drawing Units and Navigation techniques, and different command functions used for creating polygons, lines, and rectangles. Simple commands such as Erase and Redo, Co-ordinates, Fillet, Arcs, Chamfer, Move, copy and selection tools. Next, the second part of the course concern another command: rotate and scale, trim and extend command, lengthen and stretch, offset and mirror. After this second part the students will learn how to use object snapping, dimensioning, text and layer, divide and blocks and explode properties.
The fourth part is about the 2D advanced subject. In this part the students learn about creating and developing 2d advanced models in AutoCAD and using the tools required to create them. This part also teaches about the Annotation text, Annotation dimensions, constraints and working with existing data and assembling everything.
The last part of the course is based on 3d modelling and its basics used in AutoCAD applied in the topography area.
