Computer Aided Design (CAD) Lab

Welcome to the Computer Aided Design (CAD) Laboratory!

The Computer Aided Design (CAD) Laboratory is a vital part of the Civil Engineering Department, designed to equip students with essential skills in digital drafting, modelling, and design. This state-of-the-art facility provides a platform for students to transition from traditional manual drafting methods to modern, software-based techniques widely used in the construction and design industries. By integrating theoretical knowledge with practical applications, the CAD Lab plays a key role in shaping industry-ready civil engineering professionals.
