Tech Ed Concepts Selected to Distribute Chief Architect to Academic Market

Pembroke, NH, November 20, 2002 � Tech Ed Concepts, Inc. (TEC), provider of 3D Academic Engineering Solutions, today announced it has been selected to distribute Chief Architect (3D architectural modeling, rendering, and design software) to the Academic market throughout North America.

"We are pleased to announce this partnership with Tech Ed Concepts. Tech Ed has the experience and knowledge to serve the academic market which is a critical link to the overall success of Chief Architect. We recognize that by providing the best architectural design tool in terms of ease of use, and 3D modeling to the academic world, we not only gain future users, but also help provide valuable tools to the education community," stated Scott Harris, Vice President of Sales and Business Development.

Richard Amarosa, President of TEC stated, "We feel that introducing architectural engineering to young people at an early age is important for students� future career choices. Oftentimes, students are not introduced to architectural software until they arrive at the post-secondary level of education. Therefore, young people need to understand the concepts of architectural design and how it is going to benefit them in the future. Chief Architect was written to allow new, intermediate and advanced users to quickly and intuitively solve design issues in record time."

TEC is currently working with several instructors and authors who are developing curriculum materials for Chief Architect. The curriculum will introduce students to areas of Residential Design, Interior Design, Architectural Rendering and Architectural Modeling using Chief Architect. A series of four Chief Architect Instructional Training Videos on CD are available and can be used to enhance classroom instruction.
