Course Description
Course Schedule

The course takes place on Thursday afternoons and is open to all students. The course starts at zero knowledge regarding CAD and vector graphics but we will try to make good progress to provide you with a broader repertoirse of skills rather than training a specific feature repeatedly. The main teaching language and all materials are in English. We will be largely working with AutoCAD which is provided with English as well as Mandarin interface locales.



This course explicitly welcomes students from other study fields as all participants start at the same level with no prior knowledge required.
