Autodesk Learning Resources for Educators

Integrate Autodesk technology on your campus with free* resources and lesson plans from the Student Engineering and Design Community. By joining the community, educators have access to a wide range of materials, including curriculum, interactive exercises, and modular projects for the following disciplines: design basics, architecture and engineering, sustainable design, industrial design, and games and animation.

The following titles are examples of curricula that support the Design Academy:

Design Basics - provides students with foundational design knowledge, from 2D to 3D sketching and visualisation to quick start tutorials on Autodesk software.
Pre-Architecture - illustrates the architectural design process through real-life projects that help students design and visualise architectural renderings.
Pre-Engineering - supports building knowledge of mechanical engineering and civil engineering design processes.
Robotics - provides a fun, interactive way to learn the engineering process, connecting the classroom to the real world.
Science and Math - promotes technology using math and science principles to problem solve.
Sustainable Design - illustrates the impact that design has on the environment, and inspires the use of alternative building materials and resources.
