Idea is simple. If you are a civil engineer, you are likely to come to AU to take civil classes and you are likely more interested in meeting other civil engineers, rather then somebody that does machinery design. Having similar classes grouped close together allows for more networking time in a more “target rich” environment. This approach worked well with Manufacturing, Building and Civil/Geo – little trickier if you are a programmer, or a CAD Manager. Since those jobs go across all industries, we placed them in the General Design campus.
Education and Visualization classes also don’t fit neatly into one campus. However, each class usually does apply to a specific industry. For those two tracks, we will not have a “home campus” but assign them to the most logical space according to content.
