Training/Event Description

The Department of Electrical and Power Engineering at Mbeya University of Science and Technology (MUST) invites applications from interested participants to attend a five-day professional/short course on Electrical Building Design and Documentation Using AutoCAD. The course is designed to equip participants with practical knowledge and skills in electrical building design, engineering calculations, AutoCAD drafting, documentation, verification and preparation of professional electrical design drawings in accordance with applicable IEC/ISO standards and relevant Tanzanian requirements.

Course Contents:

1.     General Introduction to CAD and AutoCAD

2.     AutoCAD Interface and Setup, Templates

3.     AutoCAD drawing and modify tools

4.     Layers, Symbols and Blocks

5.     Domestic and commercial buildings Electrical Design

6.     Lighting, Emergency Lighting and Lighting Controls

7.     Final Circuits, Socket Outlets, Dedicated Loads and Essential Power

8.     Load Assessment, Maximum Demand and Phase Balancing

9.     Electrical Panel incomer/Outgoing and Distribution Boards

10.  Cable Sizing and Voltage drop

11.  Earthing, Bonding and Lightning Protection

12.  Energy Efficiency and Demand-Side Management

13.  BOQ, Technical Documentation, Verification, Commissioning and Capstone Project

Target Group:

Electrical engineers, graduate engineers, technicians, consultants, electrical contractors, building-services personnel, and MUST Engineering students interested in electrical building design and AutoCAD-based engineering documentation.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to interpret architectural drawings and electrical design requirements; prepare electrical design bases and coordinated AutoCAD drawings; perform load, maximum-demand, cable-sizing, voltage-drop and short-circuit calculations; design lighting, distribution, final circuits, earthing and protection systems; apply energy-efficiency and demand-side management measures; and prepare professional electrical design documentation, BOQs, compliance checklists, inspection and testing documents, and commissioning records.

Mode of Delivery:

Physical (Face-to-Face) Training, comprising approximately 35% technical instruction, 50% supervised practical and engineering calculation work, and 15% assessment and technical presentation.
