Whereas our specialized courses are offered through out the year at our Chicago office, Design Engine Education instructors are also flexible to accommodate your group or company by teaching classes onsite at your facility. Our instructors are not just taught how to teach specific software; they are high level users and don't get stuck when specific questions are asked during class that may veer from the structured training (like many of our competitors). We have heard stories from costumers about other training they received onsite and the instructor could not veer from the course material.

Retraining May Be the Answer

In this economy, it seems that nothing is secure, especially our design and engineering jobs. There are ways to make ourselves indispensable to our managers and to avoid those terrifying two words: 'laid off'.

Small Things in Good Packages

The Suzuki Wagon R looks like overgrown Fisher-Price Power Wheels kiddie cars, but they are very serviceable in alleys, on one-lane streets and for tiny parking spaces.

Cradle to Cradle; By William McDonough & Michael Braungart

William McDonough's book, written with his colleague, the German chemist Michael Braungart, is a manifesto calling for the transformation of human industry through ecologically intelligent design. Through historical sketches on the roots of the industrial revolution; commentary on science, nature and society; descriptions of key design principles; and compelling examples of innovative products and business strategies already reshaping the marketplace, McDonough and Braungart make the case that an industrial system that "takes, makes and wastes" can become a creator of goods and services that generate ecological, social and economic value.
