About CAD Master Coach

CAD Master Coach is written by Scott Ogren, PE who is the founder and Principal Engineer of Ogren Engineering. Scott founded Ogren Engineering in 2002 and one of the core values of Ogren Engineering is efficiency. This means that Scott, and all engineers who have worked for Ogren Engineering, are required to be proficient in creating their own drawings in AutoCAD. Over the years, Scott has created the structural drawings for more than 2,000 projects in AutoCAD and Revit. While there may be engineers who are as knowledgeable and proficient with AutoCAD as Scott, very few are more knowledgeable and proficient with AutoCAD.

Armed with this knowledge and proficiency, and having coached several engineers/drafters on the use and efficiency of AutoCAD over the years, Scott created CAD Master Coach to serve others in maximizing its utility.

CAD Master Coach is an educational platform built to simplify AutoCAD for students, professionals, and design firms. With step-by-step tutorials, how-to guides, downloadable CAD blocks, cheat-sheets, and practical workflows, we make CAD approachable and powerful.

Our tagline — “CAD Made Simple, Designs Made Powerful” — captures our mission. Every resource is written by a licensed Professional Engineer who uses AutoCAD daily in real-world engineering projects. That means you’re learning from someone who knows the challenges of deadlines, clients, and complex drawings — not just theory.

We focus on clarity, precision, and real-world application. Whether you’re just starting with CAD or looking to sharpen advanced skills, CAD Master Coach gives you tools and confidence to create with purpose.
