Savannah College of Art and Design shares Bentley's "Working Together" Vision
Technology and Design Education at the Savannah College of Art and Design
By Michelle Poggi
The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) is a private, nonprofit, accredited college awarding bachelor of fine arts, master of architecture, master of arts and master of fine arts degrees. The college offers 18 major areas of study: architectural history, architecture, art history, computer art, fashion, fibers, furniture design, graphic design, historic preservation, illustration, interior design, media and performing arts, metals and jewelry, painting, photography, product design, sequential art and video/film. The College was founded in 1979 with 71 students and today has grown to approximately 5,000 students pursuing various major and minor degree programs the college offers.
The Savannah College of Art and Design looks to Bentley as a role model for its innovative approach to educating students, partnering with the Bentley Education Network to achieve its goals.
The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Savannah, Georgia, has implemented a program of study unlike any other in the country. Since 1998, the School of Building Arts and the School of Design at SCAD have been embarking on an aggressive electronic design integration program to prepare students to succeed in today's marketplace. Huy Sinh Ngo, director of electronic design, and his colleagues have created a program that provides students enrolled in all courses of study a strong theoretical foundation combined with a practical knowledge base grounded in advanced digital design, applied across the curriculum.
To equip students for the digital design workplace, the SCAD team modeled their program after the workflow processes in Bentley products. Just as project team members must collaborate and communicate with each other throughout a project's life cycle using the right tools for each task, so SCAD students are being taught to work together using the same tools as industry professionals.
SCAD students used MicroStation for design and the Internet for communication and collaboration in an international design competition.
"The architecture, interior design, historic preservation, product design, furniture design and the metals and jewelry departments worked together to develop our electronic design integration program," Ngo elaborated. "The program's goal is to expand the intellectual and technical skills students need to effectively synthesize design concept, design data and design communication, using the same state-of-the-art technologies and workflow processes today's industry professionals use for design, collaboration, presentation and communication throughout the various phases of the design process. We want our students to be adaptable in today's global marketplace, and working with a worldwide leader like Bentley will help us achieve our objectives."
SCAD standardizes on MicroStation
Ngo and his colleagues sought the Bentley Education Network's help in furthering their efforts. With 150 seats of MicroStation already in use, SCAD recently signed a Bentley Education Network (BEN) licensing agreement with Bentley for an additional 150 seats for its electronic design integration program in the School of Building Art and School of Design.
"MicroStation provided a comprehensive working model to meet our demands, which is why we chose to standardize on it," explained Ngo.

In addition, the school sought BEN to provide not only the latest releases of Bentley products, but also technical support, links with online communities and the latest engineering news and information.
Leveraging Bentley's "working together" theme
As part of the electronic design integration program, the Electronic Design Division was created to coordinate and to manage the integration process. SCAD instructors are teaching students to use a variety of Bentley products, including MicroStation and MicroStation TriForma, as well as Internet-based technologies for communication and collaboration. Each faculty member is well versed in the latest tools of the trade, in addition to his or her discipline.
Just as Bentley's software solutions have been designed to integrate with each other, with some serving as "foundation" platforms for other configurations, SCAD has redesigned its curriculum to include classes that serve as building blocks for others.
