From New Mexico DOT to the government of Brazil public sector infrastructure designers and engineers are increasingly using model-based visualizations of municipal projects to solicit input from non-technical stakeholders and the public and better communicate design intent. Software like Autodesk InfraWorks 360 can help with that.

AUGI (aka the Autodesk User Group International) is taking a quick pulse on the industry, including job satisfaction, what specialties pay the most, as well as tech trends like the adoption of cloud computing. As of July 2, according to AUGI’s Facebook page, the responses stand as follows:
