TEC will be supplying DataCAD (Professional Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) software), and The DataCAD 10 Project Book, by Dr. Leonard O. Nasman, for use in the Applied Technology course for students in grade levels five through eight. TEC will also be supplying DOD instructors with a set of Architectural CAD Communications Instructor's Guidelines and additional curriculum materials. Architecture is incorporated as one of the technology-related activities that students will explore through the Applied Technology course in the DOD Technology Literacy Program. "Visual communication of ideas is natural to children who have grown up with multimedia and computer games. DataCAD is an easy-to-use program that will allow students to explore architectural design concepts simultaneously in 2D and 3D. We're very pleased that DOD students will be using our program, and will receive excellent support from Tech Ed Concepts, a premier educational reseller," stated Mark Madura, president and CEO of DATACAD LLC. Essential objectives incorporated in the course will allow students to define technology and recognize its impact; apply problem-solving strategies to the design process in order to create potential solutions, and demonstrate methods of graphic representation of ideas. The course content includes the integration of mathematics, science, humanities and applied engineering concepts. Through practical, hands-on experience using DataCAD, students will leave the Applied Technology course with the ability to understand the basic principles of Architecture. Richard Amarosa, President of TEC stated, "TEC is pleased to be the solution provider of software and curriculum materials for the U.S. Government schools that will be used to teach young people about Architectural CAD Communications. The core of our DOD school program, the combination of software with Instructor's Guidelines, is the latest formula for new educators of technology. We will work with them and successfully service their needs as we do with our other products - CADKEY, SURFCAM and our new Applied Manufacturing Technology programs." About Tech Ed Concepts, Inc.
