AUD and Autodesk Establish First Academic
Cooperation in the Middle East
The School of Architecture, Art and Design at the American University in Dubai (AUD) signed an
agreement with Autodesk on 8th April 2013 at AUD, Dubai.
AUD is already an Autodesk Authorized Certification Center, the objective is to develop cooperation between Autodesk and AUD, and to provide faculty, students and industry practitioners with exposure to world class software, technical curriculum, courseware, workshops, and certification exams.
Moreover, additional areas of collaboration have been
stressed upon in the MoU. These include the
conduction of the ACI (Autodesk Certified Instructor) and ACE (Autodesk Certified Evaluator) workshops at
the new Integrated Computational Design Center site. Furthermore, AUD will engage its community in
environmental projects, and pave the way for exchange of knowledge between both parties.
