Autodesk University 2008 Show Guide

Classes by Industry Business When Your Customer Doesn’t Speak “CAD” BU301-1 04-Dec-08 8:15 am - 9:45 am Unlike you, the average citizen has very little training in design. Many of the people you work with probably don’t know CAD and don’t really need to. Customers and colleagues, however, have valuable ideas and vital information. With Autodesk’s Project Draw, they can sketch out their thoughts— drawings, diagrams, or rough outlines—by simply going online and opening up a secure Web page. Show your customers how! You can then access their rough sketches and create or revise a DWG according to their suggestions. This free tool can save a lot of time. It can also cut down on omission errors resulting from misunderstood conversations. Special topics: how Project Draw is being used in actual workflows, saving Draw files as a DWF™, and collaborating in real-time. Autodesk’s Project Draw is entirely Internet-based, available to anyone, and free of charge. Note: It’s not a requirement, but you’re welcome to bring your laptop to create a collaborative sharing session of your own during this class. 90-Minute Class All Levels Lido 3002 Amanda Collins, Senior Manager | Autodesk Digital Kaizen: Applying Traditional Japanese Manufacturing Principles to the Digital Workspace BU205-1 03-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am Kaizen is the Japanese word for improvement. What can we learn from traditionally manufacturing-focused principles and how can we apply them in the digital space? This course will introduce how you can adopt the key principles of Kaizen, Lean, DFSS, and others into the design and engineering space. In doing so, the audience will experience how the combination of people, process, and technology can eliminate waste and begin to drive Lean Thinking principles throughout their organizations. The most difficult aspect of new technology adoption is rarely the technology. It’s important to determine which of your existing processes must be evaluated and updated to meet the capabilities of the new technology. By again taking a Digital Kaizen approach to this, the most important aspect of an implementation, the audience will participate in a forum discussion to best analyze the efforts associated with digitizing the engineering process. 90-Minute Class Advanced Lido 3002 Rob Cohee, MSD Technical Content Manager | Autodesk Improve Your People Skills BU401-1 05-Dec-08 8:15 am - 9:45 am We spend most of our waking hours with our co-workers. Our jobs, careers, and our success in life depend upon our productive relationships with these people. And did you know that in the last decade, we’ve learned more about what’s going on inside our heads than ever before? The problem is whether you know this and if so, can you apply it? Join a tech geek who has learned the most significant technical skill of all—the art of “people-speak”. I’ll take you on an in-depth participatory “how-to” tour that employs videos, story-telling lecture, and interactive games and exercises to explore this power that is both in you and the people around you. You’ll leave with practical tools you can start using today. 90-Minute Class All Levels Lido 3005 Tench Tilghman, CTO | CVIS, Inc Mission Critical Management Skills BU311-1 04-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm You’re a manager now. You decided. They decided. And you’ve got it covered, right? You can easily find volumes on management skills, many of them bestsellers. In fact, all this interest in how to manage well has led to a deeper understanding of why some methods work and things that appear to work don’t. This session will help you identify those critical management skills and get them working for you. We’ll focus on the practical and we’ll have fun doing it. 90-Minute Class All Levels Lido 3002 Tench Tilghman, CTO | CVIS, Inc Promoting a Green Process: Reducing your Design’s Carbon Footprint BU115-1 02-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm Designers are looking for ways to reduce the wastefulness of the design process. This class will discuss existing methodologies to reduce the amount of energy required to produce a building design. These processes will focus on Autodesk products and their role in this important task for the design team. Usage of Revit®, Design Review, and the DWF™ format reduces the overwhelming amount of paper that is used in architectural and engineering firms. 90-Minute Class Introductory Lido 3002 David Haynes, Director of AEC Services | Ideate, Inc 23
