Course Description

Students use AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2009 to complete the engineering tasks on a residential grading design. The courseware guides students through one possible grading design process from the examination of existing site conditions to a final grading solution. The primary focus is to teach students how AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 can be used as a tool to perform common engineering tasks in the grading process with greater accuracy and efficiency.
