It is offered in my school. I've taken DDP, and currently POE. It is pretty fun, the only thing that i would like to see better is more hands on in POE. Although it may just be the fact that the Tech Dept. only has a budget of $5 per class
.
I can see were DDP/IED can be a little boring for those who already know Autodesk, sketching and designing. Thats why it is designed to be a four year course and to start as a freshman.
