AutoCAD for Mechanical Engineers

AutoCAD for Mechanical Engineers

Master AutoCAD specifically for mechanical engineering applications. This comprehensive course teaches you how to create professional mechanical drawings, 3D parts, and assemblies using AutoCAD—the essential software for mechanical design and manufacturing.

You'll learn to create precise technical drawings following industry standards, design mechanical components in 3D, and prepare manufacturing-ready documentation.


From basic shapes to complex machine parts like gears and couplings, you'll gain practical skills that mechanical engineers use every day in real workplaces.

This course focuses on mechanical engineering workflows—designing parts, creating assembly drawings, adding proper dimensions and tolerances, and preparing files for production.
