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.

Our onsite training efforts are reflected successfully at Schick, Fisher-Price, Yamaha, Motorola, Knoll, John Deere, General Atomics, M3 Design, IDEO, British Aerospace, Valley Lab, Triumph, and Cannondale onsite training efforts. Call 312.226.8339 today to speak to one of our recognized instructors or inquire for past manufactures references. Inside US and overseas our instructors each carry valid passports for training abroad.

There are pros and cons to onsite training with many obvious examples such as cost savings with respect to many vs one traveling and accommodations. It is costmary to ask for two estimates from our sales department to evaluate the strengths. Sometimes our costumers will fly instructors to their city for training yet still conduct the training at an offsite facility such as a hotel conference room.

Customized Onsite Proe Training, Maya Training, Rhino Training:
Our onsite training workshops are often customized for specific product design or engineering functions. For example, one major seating manufacture gave Design Engine Pro/ENGINEER models from a past project and asked us to create custom documentation in HTML sharing high level surfacing technique beyond menu clicks. Our competitors often teach from a click by click book or manual.

With the disclosures signed our engineering team can then evaluate how the models have been put together enabling the instructor to better accommodate the training workshop.

Custom Documentation in HTML:
Specific Pro/ENGINEE training requirements for onsite efforts are often coordinated several weeks before training is to commence. And often are meant are made to customize the training by documenting current modeling practices for example This interrogation effort allow the instructor or instructors a full picture of the skill levels and a complete picture for a design process that is currently in place. In this custom document the instructors have time to apply techniques that will be gained fro the course and apply those techniques to the various modeling examples supplied. We usually recommend a 20 to 30 hour addition to the proposal depending upon how many models are supplied for interrogation. The value of this added cost goes for future training efforts as these documents can be added to the corporate intranet. These documents are usually secretive and as such it is difficult for us to share examples of the custom documentation we develop however a progressive deliverable for the advancement modeling practices and techniques of a development team.

DECEPTIVE DESIGN exhibit 2008: an event put on in conjunction between the Industrial Designers Society of America, IDSA (Chicago chapter) and the Chicago Furniture Designers association, CFDA

Furniture is an icon. A chair has four legs and so does a table. Those qualities are icons that are often so strait forward they become boring... Change a few qualities and something interesting happens. That is why this exhibit is called 'deception'.

The focus of this exhibit is to push the common conception of chairs, lamps desks and explore new rolls for those items. For example, the night stand was inspired by the designer looking at a chair next to his bed. The chair always had magazines stacked on it all the time he never sat in the chair.

This collaborative between the ISDA and CFDA is a first. The event was planed by IDSA chicago chapter http://www.idsachicago.org officers for the first time in conjunction with the Chicago Furniture Designers Association - CFDA http://www.cfdainfo.org

After Craig Berman of Gravity Tank gave an NPR interview I expected this Deceptive Design: Experiments in Furniture show to have a big turn out and it did! There were plenty of non designers at this Event too which is good because that's one reason to have events like this. To educate the community... and what better place to do so but at the Chicago Cultural Center. The exhibit will run thru January 4th so don't procrastinate and get in and check it out. 78 East Washington Chicago IL 60602

Special thanks to Goose Island for supplying the brew.

A sheep in wolfs clothing or a wolf in sheep's lighting? Garaint Krumpe and Marcus Bosch designed this lamp. There was talk about this lamp going into production. Garaint by the way is an industrial designer and expert using Pro/ENGINEER.
Damon Ahola designed this Peg one legged stool. (Radius Product Development) Thomas Im designed this dual chair storage device... that is not a chair its a night stand.
Wall lamp with hanging cloth. Design Engine had to touch it because it looked like a hard cloth. This was production piece was designed by Ingo Maurer

that's right.. A touch of Droog at this exhibit. Yes that's extension cord from your favorite Home Depot. Craig Berman designed this Droog style lamp and we Love it! http://www.craightonberman.com/

Even though the sign said do not touch, was amazing to see touch this amazing wood work as the table opens like shown yet closes into a perfect square. Yantra is the dual persona designed by John Kinstler Andrew Peerless Designed this table called Herd.
Nate Lynch and Maria Lalli made magic happen with this chair. The picture does not do it justice. There is a 3demensional tack in the center of this chair playing tricks on you. Michael Riha designed this drawer/case. This stand is meant to tease the user. You don't pull you push the drawers open. It tricked me.
