well as

It is highly recommended for engineers as well as architects or who are in construction sectors.

actual software

Really great course - lot of very important knowledge for every beginner Project Manager The proficency of the teachers on english language should be higher A+ This is theory based course only which does not allow us to work on the actual software like we did in earlier course.

The theory is very good to provide the knowledge but if we do not apply the concepts on the actual software to do the assignments then it is hard to understand the concept.
