ATI-RTC-CAR embraces modern agriculture innovations and technologies through the conduct of the Training on Auto Computer-Aided Design (CAD) for Agricultural Design for the Agriculture and Biosystem Engineers (ABEs) of CAR on April 7-11, 2025. This aims to enhance the technical capabilities of the ABEs in technological innovation to efficiently streamline agricultural operations.
The one-week training featured theoretical knowledge and workshop exercises using AutoCAD and SketchUp software to equip the participants in real-world application. The training program integrates necessary skills to implement CAD in agricultural practices effectively and efficiently in their respective offices.
Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from Benguet State University served as Resource Persons for this training. Mr. Stephen D. Pacsay, Instructor I introduced the AutoCAD commands highlighting the concepts and application as well as the SketchUp software. Mr. Alvin C Dulay, Assistant Professor II focused on the AutoCAD 2D fundamentals and its application. Also, Mr. Leonardo D. Dumalhin, Assistant Professor III, demonstrated AutoCAD Detailing and Plotting. The integration of lectures and practical exercises significantly contributed to the participantsโ comprehension and proficiency in CAD.
Further, detailed design and plan outputs were presented by the participants. The presentation activity exhibits collaborative and informative exchange of ideas with the resource persons and participants in mastering and optimizing the advantages of technology resources.
โThank you, ATIโCAR, for this opportunityโฆ This training provided valuable insights that will greatly support our agricultural work. We are now more confident in our planning, and we look forward to applying what we learned during our validation activities in our respective local areas. Thank you for this empowering and productive experience.โ โ Engr. Amerigo M. Gumilam during the sharing of impression and insights.
