Jeffrey, I just taught a teacher training class at Owens Technical College in Toledo. Owens Tech has good facilities and they are setting up their 3DS program as we speak. Try contacting Marty Weislak at Owens Tech 419-666-6163 X435. Steven

Here I go Thread Hoppn'. I couldn't help but notice that you mentioned you were teaching at a Tech. College. I've got a similiar situation "NOT" I ended up teaching a a local Tech. College, (Actually an ATC) at the request of the Training Center Manager only to find out that after I spent a month on Course Materials and after I taught the class my paper work didn't Clear because I only had 8,000 Hours not 14,000 hours in the AutoCAD Field. BTW the course I taught was on 3-D Studio not AutoCAD so I really don't think it would've been possible to have anyone teach 3-D Studio with 14,000 hours. The problem is I only have two years of College going back to 1973. Bummer. Question? Are there any Technical Colleges or ATC's That hire none degreed competent Multimedia Instructors, You know AutoCAD 3-d, AME 2.0, 3-D Studio, The usual? Thanks for listening. James M. Murphy

Murph, I'm not an ATC manager so I can't claim any knowledge about ATC hiring requirements. I do think that the school you dealt with was being short-sighted about the 14,000 hour rule. Since the government considers 2,000 hrs/yr to be full-time employment, the school was requiring 7 years of experience. 3DS hasn't been around that long! You might try visiting section 11 of this forum, that's Educational Issues and a lot of ATC people hang out there. It would be a good place to make contacts. Steven
