The afternoon saw presentations on AI & Machine Learning and Fusion 360. Following this, we had a tour of the Gallery (see the pictures below!) They introduced their three paid online courses, which, in 16 weeks, would certify specialisation in one of three areas: CAD/CAM, Generative Design, and Digital Manufacturing. The packed two days, started with breakfast and introductions but swiftly moved into a presentation on Learning Futures and how Autodesk were fostering teaching and certification within their products. The meetings were split between the Autodesk Gallery at One Market Street office and Technical Center at Pier 9 – both with great views over the Ferry Building and Oakland Bay Bridge.
It was great to develop the relationships with the Autodesk Education contacts and networking with the other universities was enlightening – not just discussing the common threads (design & manufacturing) but also seeing how the differences (between art, architecture, engineering and product design) could bring something to our respective fields. Representatives from several of Autodesk’s lighthouse institutions had been invited to discuss the future of design and manufacturing education and how Autodesk could fit into it. This week Chris and I have been in San Francisco visiting the Autodesk headquarters.
