Intergraph's PDS is the 3D CADD software market leader for developing electronic models of petrochemical plants, power plants, and a variety of other structures. The equipment class, offered by SPED with the support of Intergraph and the Houston Community College, is the introductory class for designers and engineers familiar with CAD products, but unfamiliar with PDS. In addition to building equipment, students also learn basic piping input.
