What you'll learn
AutoCAD Civil 3D is a professional civil engineering design and BIM-oriented infrastructure modeling course designed to develop practical skills in surveying, terrain modeling, road design, alignments, profiles, corridors, intersections, grading, pipe networks and quantity calculations.
The course covers the complete Civil 3D workflow, beginning with survey data and surface creation and progressing through alignment and profile design, corridor modeling, road design, intersection development, stormwater and sanitary networks, grading, earthwork calculations and construction documentation.
Learners will work on practical civil engineering projects to develop skills required for infrastructure and land development workflows.
