AEC Daily Continuing Education Podcasts

AEC Daily Expands Continuing Education With Its First AIA-Approved Video Podcast!

The first AIA-approved video podcast series is now available on AEC Daily.
Whirlpool Corporation's five-part series focuses on designing residential spaces using SketchUp Software and 3-D models from the new Sweets3D Collection in the Google SketchUp 3D Warehouse.

The Whirlpool Series of courses examines designing a case study home, including a residential kitchen, laundry space, outdoor kitchen and garage space. Users will also learn how to import 3-D appliance models from Whirlpool Corporation brands within their designs. For architects who prefer hand sketching, the podcasts include content on using hand drawings in combination with SketchUp.

Video is ideal for this type of course because of the need to demonstrate how to use the software. The animation provides an important value-added component to the education.
