The
CAD Academy Engineering/Architecture Suite
A comprehensive program offering industry
leading software technology and curriculum resources to allow
students to explore career paths through real-world projects, while
establishing a solid understanding of architecture, engineering,
mathematics, science & technology.
Full features of
The CAD Academy's
Engineering/Architecture Suite include: A+ CAD, DSS SolidWorks, ArchiCAD
11, Google SketchUp Pro, Discovery Channel, and Instructor Resources.
Inside The CAD Academy Suite, a special assortment is dedicated to
provide an overview of the main resources called
Instructor Resources.
Students
who learn A+CAD® will be able to easily transition into AutoCAD®. A+CAD®
offers the familiar AutoCAD® user-interface and compatibility with
AutoCAD® DWG files, commands, LISP programming, and applications. A+CAD®
can open, edit, and save any existing DWG file from AutoCAD® 14-2008
without conversion or data loss.
SolidWorks
is the industry standard for 2D and 3D mechanical design and is used by
more than 85% of the world’s top-ranked engineering institutions
worldwide. SolidWorks is committed to provide the most innovative
resource for learning and teaching across a broad range of engineering,
design, and physical science subjects.
ArchiCAD is the most comprehensive
architectural tool available. More than 60% of the top architectural
schools in the United States use ArchiCAD. Architects and designers have
utilized ArchiCAD to complete over one million building projects in over
80 countries. ArchiCAD allows the user to create a “virtual building”
with all virtual structural elements also referred to as (BIM) Building
Information Modeling.
Google SketchUp Pro is used by more than
half of the top 150 largest AEC firms in the world. It is the leading 3D
sketching and visualization software. It is intuitive, flexible, and
easy to use. Also included is Podium, the photo-real rendering plug-in
for SketchUp Pro.
