Questions and Content

“Digital Processing for Academics” (short: “digi-pro”) was a project based on a modular course program. The project focused on developing skills for innovative drafts and designs in the fields of architecture, design, and engineering. The course relied on a complex interactive process of developing both physical and digital prototypes. “digi-pro” has built on previous knowledge and experience with basic CAD-classes.

Use and Target Audience

The classes were continuously re-assessed and redeveloped on demand from the industry and job market. The aim was to offer the participants a professional development of their current qualifications, which is up to date with the latest developments of the industry and thus bettering job prospects. The course was targeted towards students as well as graduates and professionals who are looking to connect theoretical knowledge to practical applications.
