Autodesk, the 2-D and 3-D design software firm, introduces the Autodesk Student Community. The highlight is that students can download full versions of software such as AutoCAD, Alias Studio and Revit Architecture. The software is provided under a 14-month watermark license.

Besides access to free software, students who join the community get to:

• keep up to date with trends in architecture, design and engineering
• search for related jobs
• showcase your work
• participate in discussions with industry leaders and peers
• form networking groups with like-minded people
• access interactive training tutorials

If you are an architecture, design or engineering student, you might want to take advantage of this community. Faculty staff can join too.
