"There is no one else around here that''s teaching Revit," claims program manager of Computer Aided Drafting and Design at Southwest Paul Engler. "There is a tremendous amount of versatility with Revit that makes for a whole different routine than what architects and designers have done in the past."
Courses in the 3D modeling program - hailed as "the next generation for computer-aided design" by Cape-Coral-Daily-Breeze.com - were previously available only in larger institutions in neighboring cities such as
Miami and Tampa, but now architecture students in southwest Florida are offered a more robust curriculum involving hands-on training, teacher demonstrations and facilitation.
Southwest Florida College, founded in 1974, offers online courses to meet the needs of students whose free time is in short supply.
