Autodesk Revit Architecture Certified User SkillsIntroduction2Welcome to the Autodesk Revit Architecture Certified User Skills. This document was designed to help educators and educational institutions teach RevitArchitecture software skills. Created using valuable input from Project Lead the Way and other respected educators and designers, it sets forth importantskill standards for developing a high-quality user certification exam and curriculum resourcesThe Revit Architecture Certified User Skills serves to standardize the core competencies for fundamental-level instruction with Autodesk Revit Architecturefor a two-semester class and provides a content framework and reference guide for the Autodesk Revit Architecture Certified User exam.TIP: Although this document is designed to facilitate teacher-led courses and lessons, it may also be referenced for self-paced learning throughthe use of the Autodesk Digital STEAM Workshop and the Autodesk Digital STEAM Workshop.Using This DocumentThis easy-to-read document lists industry-specific topics pertaining to a function or feature set of Autodesk Revit Architecture software. Topics areorganized into three substructures logically sequenced for classroom presentation: Topic: A standard functional subject area and/or feature set available in Autodesk Revit Architecture software.Example: Views Subtopic: A subtopic provides more detail on the topics and what the topics support.Example: View Types Content: The content provides more detail about the subtopic and what should be taught and learned.Example: Elevations Learning Objective: The learning objective exemplifies what the student is expected to understand.Example: Modify, crop, and place elevation views on a sheet.TOPICSUBTOPICCONTENTLEARNINGOBJECTIVE
Autodesk Revit Architecture Certified User SkillsIntroduction3Autodesk Revit Architecture Certified User Digital Study PacketThe Autodesk Revit Architecture Certified User Digital Study Packet is a digital learning resource that provides students with a library of short videosbased on the Revit Architecture Certified User Skills. The study packet covers the basic techniques required to become familiar with the software and gethands-on quickly.TIP: Teachers can leverage the study packets in conjunction with the Autodesk Digital STEAM Workshop or their own curriculum to help theirstudents build their software skills.Autodesk Digital STEAM WorkshopThe Autodesk Digital STEAM Workshop provides teachers and students with a highly visual story-based curriculum created to promote design innovationand creative problem-solving through science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM). The curriculum is structured as a framework for learningsoftware through project-based content based on engaging real-world industry projects that build gradually in difficulty, offering students a chance toachieve small successes as they build their technical skills.TIP: Using the Autodesk Revit Architecture Certified User Skills as benchmarks, teachers can measure a student’s progress as they work throughthe skills-building projects offered in the Autodesk Digital STEAM Workshop.FeedbackWe welcome your feedback on the Revit Architecture Certified User Skills.
