In addition, this course will teach you how to prepare a Bill of Material (BOM) using the widely used software, Microsoft Excel. BOMs are vital documents that outline the list of materials required for a particular project. You will gain practical experience in creating accurate and detailed BOMs, ensuring smooth project execution.

A significant portion of this course is dedicated to AutoCAD Electrical, a powerful software used in the electrical engineering and design industry. You will start by understanding the basics of AutoCAD Electrical, including fundamental tools such as drawing lines, polylines, circles, squares, and rectangles. These skills will form the foundation of your proficiency in using AutoCAD Electrical.

As you progress, you will delve deeper into the software, exploring advanced features and tools. You will learn how to manipulate panels using commands like copy, move, mirror, rotate, scale, trim, and erase. These panel modification techniques are essential in creating accurate and efficient designs.

Another important aspect of this course is learning how to work with the project manager in AutoCAD Electrical. You will discover how to create and organize projects, copy drawings between projects, and delete projects and drawings. These project management skills will enhance your productivity and organization in the field of electrical design.

Furthermore, you will gain expertise in inserting electrical wires using AutoCAD Electrical's schematic menu tools. This includes working with angled wires and interconnecting different electrical components. You will also learn how to utilize the JIC Schematic tools and symbols from the Icon Menu, as well as insert ladders and PLCs in your AutoCAD drawings. Additionally, you will become familiar with the circuit builder, which offers pre-built electrical circuits for efficient design.

Switchgear controls and circuit breakers are a crucial part of any electrical system. This course will extensively cover various types of circuit breakers, including MCB, MCCB, ACB, and more. You will gain a deep understanding of their functionality and application, ensuring the safe operation of electrical circuits.

By the end of this course, you will have developed a solid foundation in Industrial Electrical Engineering, AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, electrical circuits, electrical design, electrical wiring, electrical schematics, industrial controls, and industrial automation. Whether you are a beginner in the field or an experienced professional looking to broaden your knowledge, this course will equip you with the skills needed to excel in Industrial Electrical Engineering. Embark on this learning journey and unlock exciting opportunities in the world of electrical engineering.
