The Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning Organizes

Student Training Courses on Architectural Design Programs AutoCAD and 3ds Max

The Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning at Al-Wataniya Private University organized a training course aimed at qualifying and training the faculty’s students in preparing architectural projects through drawing using AutoCAD software on computers.
The course was conducted by Engineer Ghiyath Al-Mallash, under the general supervision of Prof. Dr. Safwat Ibrahim Basha, Dean of the Faculty, during the period from July 27, 2025, to October 1, 2025.

The training course covered several main topics, beginning with introducing students to the AutoCAD interface and its settings.
Engineer Ghiyath Al-Mallash explained how to draw architectural plans and sections, illustrating the use of hatching, dimensions, and layer management, as well as methods for coordinating architectural projects and the basics of printing.
The course also focused on introducing students to basic three-dimensional shapes, how to manipulate and modify them, and the process of modeling architectural masses and projects.

In parallel, the Faculty launched another training course on 3ds Max software, supervised by Engineer Ghiyath Al-Mallash, held from July 27, 2025, to September 15, 2025.
The training sessions aimed to enhance students’ computer-aided design skills, introduce them to the software’s foundations, and teach them how to design architectural forms—both interior and exterior—within diverse and specialized projects.
The course also emphasized architectural visualization using 3ds Max, enabling students to complete their architectural projects with high quality and professionalism.

Engineer Ghiyath Al-Mallash introduced students to the program interface, main tools, and key 3D modeling commands, explaining essential modification and export operations from AutoCAD to 3ds Max.
Students learned how to design various external architectural projects (educational project – recreational project (restaurant) – urban planning project – organic tourism and recreational projects – and interior design project).

Additionally, Engineer Ghiyath Al-Mallash explained the basics of V-Ray rendering and scene output, detailing lighting elements and their types (natural and artificial), along with material applications and texturing in the program to achieve realistic visualization for both interior and exterior projects.

Al-Wataniya Private University, along with the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, continues to organize such diverse training courses, providing students with valuable opportunities for exploration, skill development, and preparation for both their academic studies and future careers.
