Study Guide

Objective

Students will acquire the ability to interpret drawings in the fields of electrical and automation engineering. They will be competent in using CAD programmes for electrical and automation designing, and they will understand their features and areas where the programmes can be used. Upon completion of the course, students will possess the readiness they need to make simple, field-related drawings using CAD and to choose appropriate ways to present their work.
