Classes by Industry Education & Learning Incorporatiing AutoCAD® Civil 3D® and Revit® into Higher Education ED315-1 04-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm Civil engineering is an interdisciplinary industry with projects that require changes throughout design and construction. Changes generally have financial and schedule ramifications. Classroom instruction is typically simplified due to time and other constraints, discouraging educators from addressing the impacts of change. The introduction of object-oriented software early in the curriculum provides students and instructors with a powerful tool that can assist them with the dynamic nature of design in their education, and apply it throughout their college career. Dynamic civil modeling software, such as Civil 3D, and parametric software, such as Revit, allow instructors to focus on teaching the concepts while equipping students with powerful tools to visually communicate their designs. In this session, you will learn how Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) is incorporating these tools into the curriculum to help students gain a better understanding of engineering concepts, such as highway design, site design, and building construction. 90-Minute Class All Levels Lido 3001a Christine Conron, PhD Candidate | WPI Creativity and Innovation in Education ED205-1 03-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am This proposal highlights the Evolution Project, a collaboration between Steve Stott and Mike Santolupo. The Evolution Project involved a Grade 11 design class from John Paul II. Students were challenged to design a concept vehicle that would improve mobility in an urban environment for the physically impaired and accommodate both driver and wheelchair. Steve Stott spent the first week of the project at John Paul II, developing students’ initial designs by means of his strategies for creativity and innovation. This 90-minute class begins with a summary of Steve Stott’s week at John Paul II. His strategies for creativity and innovation, which inspired the students and their designs, will be presented. Mike Santolupo’s segment will focus on the design process of the project, noting how the students used Autodesk software as a powerful design tool. The design process included AliasStudio™ 3D models and Autodesk® ImageStudio render images. 90-Minute Class All Levels Lido 3106 Mike Santolupo, Design Teacher | London District Catholic School Board Introduction to the Autodesk Animation Academy for Autodesk® 3ds Max® and Autodesk® Maya® ED211-2 03-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm This seminar-style training session will introduce you and your peers to the Autodesk Animation Academy (A3D) for both Autodesk 3ds Max and Autodesk Maya. This curriculum combines art and academics in an exciting learning environment for comprehensive, secondary education. Employing the same 3ds Max and Maya animation technology that professionals use to design film special effects and computer games, this districtwide visual communication curriculum immerses students in science, math, language arts, and technology. 90-Minute Class All Levels Lido 3106 Pia Maffei, President | Applied IDEAS, Inc. The Art of Learning Using the Full Autodesk Palette ® ED311-2 04-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm In this class you’ll learn how to empower yourself as a learner, making sure you have the tools you need to be successful in your job. We’ll be looking at the full suite of Autodesk Learning Tools from assessment tests, gap analysis, courseware, learning paths, e-learning, ATC Training, certification and how you as an individual can use those tools to align with your personal learning style, making sure you get the most out of your Autodesk products. Using examples and your personal score card, you’ll be able to assess what makes sense for you. 90-Minute Class All Levels Lido 3106 Hans Hirschi, Senior Learning Consultant | Autodesk Lessons Learned: Integrating BIM into Education ED211-1 03-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm Integrating Revit functionality and instructional methodology, this course will review strategies for incorporating Building Information Modeling (BIM) into post-secondary education courses. BIM is a powerful tool for managing digital simulation, analysis, problem-solving, and documentation in architecture, engineering, and construction practice. This class will introduce methods for implementing BIM in the educational setting based on lessons learned from courses across major universities in the United States and Canada. In addition to understanding how Revit® is used in professional practice, design studio, materials and methods, and technology courses, the functionality and tool sets appropriate for lower division and upper division courses will be demonstrated. 90-Minute Class All Levels Lido 3105 Nancy Brown, Education Solutions Specialist | Autodesk The World’s Greatest Training Secrets Revealed!
