Aug. 21 Digital School: Edmonton has a lot of post- secondary schools. I decided to look into Digital School, a technical design college. It’s in City Centre mall. I read in the Metro there’s an open house today. I checked out the website first:
“Autodesk® software helps lay a broad foundation on which countless design careers can be built. Designers develop and refine concepts and prepare technical drawings and plans. Production and construction teams use these documents to build everything from manufactured products like spacecraft, tools, and toasters to structures like office buildings, theatre sets, and sports stadiums. Architecture provides a lifetime of opportunities for creativity and aesthetic problem solving. Using Autodesk® software, professionals worldwide are exploring these qualities in designing, visualizing, and animating highly original structures. In any career, design plays a part.
Digital School has established itself as a leader in computer-aided design and drafting education. Our instructors share theoretical concepts and help students develop technical skills through interactive and experiential learning methodology.”
There are only 4 programs:
Architectural CAD Technician: This lists all the classes you would take and where you will be working at like architecture offices and engineering firms.
“Architectural CAD Technicians work with Architects and Technologists to design and draft all of these and more. And it's not just the appearance of these structures that Architectural CAD Technicians are concerned with, it's also the functionality of the design, the safety, and - wherever possible - the economy.”
My opinion: I have no interest in this.
Engineering CAD Technician:
“They work directly with engineers and technologists to design, plan, draw, and create products, machines, factories, buildings, highways, transit systems, and more! Engineering CAD Technicians use computer aided design software to produce and analyze designs and to simulate and test machines, structures or systems. Their drawings act as the foundation of communication between all parties including the engineers, builders, and clients - providing the link between science and commercial applications.”
My opinion: I have no interest in this either.
Computer Aided Drafter:
“Drafters prepare technical drawings and plans used by production and construction workers to build everything from manufactured products to industrial machinery; from office buildings to gas pipelines to spacecraft. Their drawings provide visual guidelines, showing the technical details of the products and structures, specifying dimensions, materials to be used, procedures and processes.”
My opinion: I have no interest in this either.
Process Piping Specializations:
“Engineering CAD Technicians with the Process Piping Specialization work alongside with petroleum engineers to search the world for reservoirs containing oil or natural gas.”
My opinion: I’m not interested in this. It’s a good thing I went on the website to research this. I guess I was expecting it to be like a graphic design school, and be more creative than an engineering kind of school. It is a good website.
Pixel Blue College: Now here’s a graphic design school. There are 6 college programs.
Aboriginal Graphic Design:
“The Design and Motion Graphics Program explores the limitless world of creativity through multimedia development, a combination of technical awareness with software applications, and the role of communication through commercial and visual art. By keeping a close eye on the industry and feedback from industry related companies and professionals, the DMG curriculum is constantly evolving to allow students to enter the workforce running.”
Graphic Design:
“Through the use of innovative teaching practices, custom designed labs, and the use of real-world projects, Graphic Design students will be guided through the intricacies of creating portfolio projects that will enable them to find a suitable career path in the new media industry. By keeping a close eye on the industry and feedback from industry related companies and professionals, the Graphic Design curriculum is constantly evolving to allow students to enter the workforce running.”
2D Animation & Illustration:
“By immersing themselves into a completely practical learning environment, students will be able to integrate themselves into an animation studio upon graduation, or will have the means to start their own studio and bring their own stories and ideas to life.”
My opinion: I saw the video where it shows the students’ work and it was really fun to watch. I was impressed.
3D Animation & Modelling:
Pixel Blue College's 3D Animation program prepares students for various opportunities in the 3D industry. Students will be able to find work in broadcast, architectural, engineering, 3D Gaming, film, scientific research and many other industries that have a 3D application. This field is continuing to expand and now includes many other industries and therefore offers great growth opportunities for graduates with 3D Modeling and Animation skills.”
My opinion: I was impressed with the images. There were pictures that looked like video
game characters and pictures of homes.
3D Game Modeling:
My opinion: I saw the images. I’m not really interested in video games.
Digital Audio Production:
“Pixel Blue College's Digital Audio Production Program is designed to educate students in modern audio production techniques. Students will learn the fundamentals of audio theory and then quickly proceed to hands-on interaction with the hardware and software tools commonly used in the industry.”
My opinion: The video was video game imagery with sound effects that sounded very real. I’m not really interested in this.
Sept. 23: I don’t know about you guys if you’re interested in reading about college programs and my opinions on it. There may be some of you saying: “Yeah, well at least she’s not writing about Dateline: To Catch a Predator.” Some of you guys may be laughing at this part.

I have to visit http://www.sopreview.com/our-sop-review-sample/ to read and write the unique contents so that I can prove myself in front of the audience because I am a novelist and know my abilities that how to create unique contents for others and for me as well.
Whatever one called it but it’s great achievement and honor to be standing in Olympics. Well described article to see more details.
How digital schools run?I am so surprised to read about this article and I would like to visit this page thoroughly before sharing my reviews.Thank you so much for sharing this post.
This game model is helpful for the newbies because they always look here and there in search of the software where they can upload what they have developed.
When you are clear in your mind so you do not need any such ideas but you look here at your page and give your opinion to others and others accept those as well.
