With the visualization and 3D rendering software market projected to hit $7.43 billion by 2028, demand for 3D visualization artists continues to rise across various industries. Specialized education programs are critical for equipping artists with up-to-date knowledge, yet there are few such programs. CG Spectrum is addressing this with a new career-focused visualization pathway developed by industry, for industry. Starting with a foundation in visualization with later specializations in architecture, product, and industrial, students go from zero technical skills to becoming proficient visualization artists. To ensure graduates are job-ready, we're inviting industry leaders to join our Visualization Advisory Board. By doing so, you can network with other leaders, keep abreast of the latest trends, develop education solutions to address industry needs and challenges, and directly impact and inspire the next wave of 3D artists. Let's work together to shape 3D visualization education.

More than six years ago, Soumil Goyal was first introduced to Autodesk products, and it sparked a passion for engineering, design, and manufacturing. Goyal is now a high school senior and has learned to use many Autodesk products, including TinkerCAD, Fusion 360, Inventor, and AutoCAD. In this session, Goyal will share a unique perspective as a young and enthusiastic learner and how we need to teach for the future of engineering. This modern engineering student's perspective will provide an insightful outlook into the best ways to continue advancing education to build the next engineers. Goyal will also share the best ways to teach engineering in the new technology revolutions, how Autodesk products can boost engineering, and why businesses and organizations should invest more in engineering education.

Shaun Bryant (CADJedi), a LinkedIn Learning [in]structor, comes from a military family. His father served in the Royal Navy and taught him to keep all things shipshape! This includes his AutoCAD drawings. A crucial part of your daily drafting is managing your drawings to known standards, and ensuring that your blocks are on the correct layer, your text has the correct style or size, and your dimensions are using the appropriate dimension style. You must often face numerous (and sometimes onerous) issues with standards in your AutoCAD ?les, but taking the time to ?x these issues can be a massive timesaver in the long run. In this class, Shaun will take you through several AutoCAD techniques that speed up these processes and allow you to make your drawings open quicker with reduced ?le sizes and reduced risk of crashing—making you a much happier AutoCAD user!

In this informative and engaging talk, we'll explore the powerful capabilities of the AutoCAD Architecture toolset in the context of schematic design development. AutoCAD Architecture, a leading software system for architectural design and documentation, offers an array of tools and features to aid the design process. We'll delve into the key aspects of using AutoCAD Architecture to develop schematic designs efficiently and effectively. We'll discuss how the software enables architects, designers, and drafters to create and refine initial design concepts, transforming them into comprehensive schematic representations.

The Superb Team strikes again! Join us in this latest installment of the top-rated Superb Guide Series! Rina and Nauman return to AU 2023 with a new package of our Speaker Favorites, Timesaver Alerts, Superb Tips, and many other fun Revit things. During our fast-paced, lively conversation (spiced with still more pain, passion, and true war stories!), we will continue to answer these questions: - Can you maximize the capabilities of Revit (versions forevermore, especially 2024) to the max, on your server and especially in the cloud? - Are there any lesser-known Revit capabilities and workarounds that we can leverage? - Are there ways to leverage interoperability with helpful add-ins and other authoring software to enhance productivity? - What are the newest, most helpful features in Revit 2024 and Autodesk Construction Cloud? Our answer still is – YES to all! Join us for our wise (and fun!) pointers on how to be a fearlessly productive Revit warrior

During this presentation we'll explain how to set up assets based on design files. We'll explore how to determine which assets need to be defined and what data can be associated in order for successful commissioning during the construction phase. We'll start by looking at how we can extract data from Revit, Navisworks, and AutoCAD software, and how we can prepare for assets import using the model-based workflow. As assets get installed in rooms and spaces, it's also critical to find a way to tie them to an LBS (location breakdown structure). Once we've defined these assets within Autodesk Construction Cloud, we'll show a way of creating a bidirectional link between the object in the design file and the Autodesk Construction Cloud database. We'll finish up using asset color coding on the 3D model, and run some reports we can use to show the progress of commissioning these objects.

Are you planning on implementing Factory Design Utilities at your company? Maybe you're in the process of implementing Factory Design Utilities, or you've tried to implement Factory Design Utilities and had some issues.

In this roundtable class, you can discuss the details with other companies that have implemented Factory Design Utilities, and you'll get best practices from companies that have implemented it successfully.

As our world becomes increasingly digital, interoperability is becoming more and more important. In many industries, including health care, manufacturing, and construction, interoperability is seen as a key factor in improving efficiency, reducing costs, and increasing innovation. It is also important for the development of new technologies and innovations and for enabling different systems to work together. Interoperability can help foster collaboration and accelerate the pace of technological progress. That said, two powerful products—AutoCAD toolsets and Inventor software—make one powerful pair that will maximize the capabilities of your CAD software with 2D and 3D workflows that work together. This class will show you how to use AutoCAD toolsets with Inventor to design faster, get more from your models, and save time on manual tasks that enable us to work together seamlessly.

This case study explores how two educators have created girl-focused STEM events to support and empower our next generation. In order to help close the gender gap in their engineering classes, they created programs that pairs young students with high school students and professionals in industry. Maker Girl Mania, a STEM event created in 2015, uses a variety of hands-on activities at over 25 stations for students K-7th grade to explore, problem-solve, build, and tinker with different facets of engineering. Over 100 high school volunteers and industry partners help the young makers at each of the 25 stations to be successful in their explorations. Tech Girls, an annual event that pairs middle school girls with high school girls, introduces young students to the classes and careers available in STEM including Engineering, Design, Architecture, and Automotive.
