They recently changed the courses into computer (so no more hand drafting) and possibly it'll be more on autocad/3d/sketchup. I don't mind it being heavy, since I'll probably just use it 2-3x a week.. I COULD use the school computer (I'm in BCIT NE1, if anyone know where that is) and 95% of the time it's filled till 10pm and then the building closes at 1am. I can't go to ehpod (library) because it doesn't have sketchup (but has autocad) if i'm working in between two programs.
