Advanced Departmental Electives
These advanced electives provide students with specialized knowledge and skills in various domains related to AutoCAD and engineering design:
- Advanced CAD Applications: This course explores the use of AutoCAD for complex architectural and mechanical modeling, focusing on integration with simulation tools.
- Parametric Modeling with AutoCAD: Students learn how to build dynamic models that can be easily modified using parameters and constraints.
- Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Revit: A deep dive into BIM technology, combining AutoCAD with Autodesk's Revit for construction design.
- CAD for Product Design: Focuses on creating industrial products using AutoCAD, including surface modeling and rendering techniques.
- 3D Printing and Digital Fabrication: Students explore how to translate CAD models into physical objects through additive manufacturing technologies.
- Engineering Simulation and Visualization: Integrates AutoCAD with ANSYS and MATLAB for simulation-based design processes.
- Urban Planning and GIS Integration: Combines AutoCAD with geographic information systems (GIS) to create smart city solutions.
- Industrial Automation and Robotics: Teaches how to use CAD tools in designing robotic systems and automated manufacturing environments.
- Environmental Design and Sustainable Architecture: Focuses on green building design using AutoCAD and environmental impact analysis tools.
- Game Development with 3D Assets: Students learn to create 3D models for video games, integrating CAD tools with game engines.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
At Roorkee Institute Of Technology, we believe that project-based learning is the most effective way to prepare students for real-world challenges. Our approach emphasizes hands-on experience, critical thinking, and collaboration.
The program includes mandatory mini-projects in the second and third years, followed by a final-year capstone project that spans the entire academic year. These projects are designed to mirror actual industry scenarios, allowing students to apply their knowledge while developing essential soft skills like communication, teamwork, and leadership.
Students select their projects based on personal interest and career aspirations, with faculty mentors guiding them throughout the process. The evaluation criteria include creativity, technical execution, presentation, and peer review.
Mini Projects
Mini projects are assigned in the second and third years to build foundational design skills:
- First-year mini-project: Basic 2D drafting using AutoCAD for a simple architectural element like a window or door.
- Second-year mini-project: Introduction to 3D modeling of mechanical parts such as gears or brackets.
- Third-year mini-project: Integration of CAD with other tools for a complete design process including simulation and visualization.
Final-Year Capstone Project
The capstone project is the culmination of the AutoCAD program. Students work in teams to solve a real-world problem, often proposed by industry partners or faculty members. The project involves:
- Research and conceptualization phase
- Design and modeling using AutoCAD
- Collaboration with stakeholders and industry experts
- Presentation at an annual showcase event
- Documentation of the process and outcomes
This experience equips students with the confidence and skills needed to enter the workforce or pursue further studies.
