The document discusses software skills that are important for civil engineers to develop. It begins by stating that basic skills are needed in civil engineering and there is a need to develop additional skills. It then defines what software skills are and lists some common software used in industry, including MS Excel, AutoCAD, Revit, and STAAD Pro. For each software, it provides examples of how it is used in civil engineering for tasks like modeling, drafting, analysis, and documentation. It emphasizes that software skills are crucial for engineers to effectively perform their jobs and advance their careers.

6. What is Software Skill
• Software skills help you to efficiently use computer programs and applications. ... For example, many engineer
may believe all applicants have a basic knowledge of word processing programs, like Microsoft Word.
•To develop software skill in any field if it is technical or non technical ,basic knowledge of that field must be
required to understand properly.

7. GENERAL SOFTWARE USE IN INDUSTRY.
• MS EXCEL
• MS WORD
• AUTOCAD
• REVIT
• STAAD PRO

8. M S EXCEL
 The Excel Engineering Functions perform the most commonly used engineering calculations, many of
which relate to Bessel Functions, Complex Numbers or converting between different bases.
 Engineers use Excel almost every day. It doesn’t matter what industry you are in; MS Excel is used
almost everywhere in engineering. Microsoft Excel is the number one tool for data preparation, and
data analysis. An engineer must have an advanced level of knowledge of this awesome tool. Successful
engineers have learned to master it in order to advance in their careers

9. M S WORD
 MS Office is not an engineering tool but it is more of a business tool but without MS Office application
in engineering work, engineering work can't be shared efficienctly with the broader scientific
community.
 There is no need to explain that how important this software is. It is obvious that none of the person can
start his professional career especially office work without knowing the importance and usability of
Microsoft Office products like MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint and list goes on. If you want to
become a good Civil Engineer your top most choice for software should be Microsoft Office.

10. AUTOCAD
AutoCAD is a commercial computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting software application.
Developed and marketed by Autodesk, AutoCAD was first released in December 1982 as a desktop app
running on microcomputers with internal graphics controllers
 AutoCAD is issued free of cost to students,educators, and institutions.AutoCAD is globally
used by surveyors, designers, engineers, drafters. Globally, AutoCAD has proven as an efficient and
user-friendly
 Creating drawings manually is a time- consuming task. When designers create drawings on a digital
platform with computersoftware they get the benefit of the application interface.
 Digital literacy is not just a boon to students but a skill essential for career growth.
AutoCAD is a gigantic program that delivers desired outputs and is used in many ways.

13. REVIT
 Use Revit® software to produce consistent, co-ordinated and complete model-based building
designs and documentation. Revit supports a multi-discipline collaborative design process.
• Automatically update floor plans, levels, sections and 3D views.
• Use 3D visualisations to see a building before it's built.

16. STAAD PRO
 STAAD or is a structural analysis and design software application originally developed by Research
Engineers International in 1997. In late 2005, Research Engineers International was bought by
Bentley Systems. STAAD.Pro is one of the most widely used structural analysis and design software
products worldwide.
 Confidently design any type of structure and share your synchronized model data among your design
team, in one integrated set of applications. Complete your steel, concrete, timber, aluminum, and cold-
formed steel projects, on time and in budget, regardless of complexity.
 Design structures anywhere in the world with confidence using over 90 international codes, reducing
yourteam’s need to learn multiple software applications. Increase your design productivity with
streamlined workflows to reduce duplication of effort and eliminate errors.
