Building a foundation for success.AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software gives University of Virginia students tools to compete and succeed in civil engineering careers. The University of Virginia (U.Va) is one of the nations foremost institutions of higher education. In fact, according to U.S. News magazine, U.Va has ranked either first or second among public universities every year for the past decade. "Our undergraduate civil engineering program has a particularly strong reputation," says Brian Smith, associate professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering. "We're really focused on applying information technology to civil engineering, and are looking beyond CAD to other methodologies, such as building information modeling (BIM)." That's why the university's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering recently integrated AutoCAD Civil 3D software into its curriculum. "My goal is to get the students to move from a drawing-on-paper mindset to a modeling mentality," says Smith. Two factors have played a key role in the success of that effort: the AutoCAD Civil 3D Education Curriculum and free student edition downloads of Civil 3D software from the Autodesk Student Engineering and Design Community.
