While at Clemson, several of us realized the importance of computers in our technical advancing society. So, we took it upon ourselves to learn several computer programs that would help communicate our designs to others in our profession, those in professions in which we will work alongside, but most of all, our clients. Several of these programs include Microsoft Office 2003/07, Adobe Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, & Acrobat), AutoCAD 2008, and Google Sketchup. I was chosen to study abroad in Barcelona, Spain for a semester where I was introduced to Adobe Illustrator and able to brush up on my Spanish as well as try to learn Catalan, French, and Italian. This experience clarified that it is easier to communicate with the written language than the spoken language unless you are around it for a period of time.
