AutoCAD is a computer-aided design (CAD) software used by engineers, architects, and construction professionals to create precise 2D and 3D drawings. For engineering students, learning AutoCAD is essential as it is the industry standard for drafting and design across many disciplines. 

Civil engineering students use AutoCAD to design and plan various infrastructure projects. Learning this software provides skills in drafting and visualization that are highly valued in the industry. 

AutoCAD helps EEE students create and modify electrical control systems and schematics with a rich library of symbols and automated tasks. 

For mechanical engineering students, AutoCAD is crucial for designing and drafting mechanical parts, components, and assemblies.
