ACE the AutoCAD Interview : Go from Zero to Hero
Description
Drafters use software such as Autodesk's AutoCAD to prepare 2D and 3D technical drawings. These drawings are used as blueprints to construct products and structures, such as buildings, machinery, toys, microchips, plumbing & electrical systems, vehicles and a host of other manufactured goods. Drafting professionals hold a range of job titles, including engineer, drafter, estimator, designer, modeler, architect and illustrator.
The best AutoCAD drafters combine "right-brain" attributes, such as creativity & spatial relationships, with "left-brain" traits, like mathematics & analytical thinking, to produce designs that are captivating, functional and innovative. Whether your CADD (computer-aided drafting & design) career path lies in civil engineering, architecture or even entertainment (CADD software such as Autodesk's Maya can render stunning 3D animation and special effects), AutoCAD gives you the power to bring your ideas to life.
AutoCAD is the most popular CADD software with the highest overall job-market demand. There are also specialized versions of AutoCAD and other Autodesk products designed for drafters in specific job-roles and industries.

Instructor
Hi there,
I am Keneel Patel. I moved to US back in 2015. After coming to US with my family, I started attending the Elgin Community College. I pursued Associate in Engineering Science at the Elgin Community College. Right after my graduation from the community college, I enrolled myself into the University of Illinois at Chicago, where I pursued Bachelor's in Computer Engineering. Right after my graduation from UIC back in May 2020, I started looking for a job. In the era of pandemic, it was bit difficult for me to land a job but after a lot of applications and cold emails, I was able to land a job at Tata Consultancy Services as a Software Engineer. I worked for the Goodyear as a vendor thru Tata Consultancy Services. I worked there for a year and decided to switch my job as I wanted to try something else. I ended up landing a job at Freddie Mac, VA as a DevOps Engineer. I currently work with the company in their SFNTA team which helps the organization adopt new technologies. I usually work with new cloud technologies and do some POC. My typical day is to work with Groovy, Ansible, Springboot and Java.
Now that I am happy with my work, I am also willing to put knowledge out to other folks who are in need and also create some value online that I can help other students out. My goal for as a Udemy Instructor is to post exams on different topics, teach some IT and also post some other courses on finance education and stock market trading. I am looking forward to teach you all and excited for the new journey of life.
Thank you,
Keneel Patel
