Did you see last night’s championship game? Wow, what a finish. If you’re already feeling a hole left by March Madness, never fear—the AU Tournament of Topics is here to keep you entertained.
In Round 1 we saw some close calls, some back and forth, and even a landslide or 2 before we said adios to 16 contenders that didn’t make the grade. (Don’t worry—we’ll feature classes on all the tournament topics at AU Las Vegas.) Now it’s time to see what the remaining topics are really made of. We’ve got celebrated rookies and newcomers like Design Visualization and 3D Printing taking on seasoned winners, perennial powerhouses like AutoCAD and General Design going head-to-head with other all-time favorites, and more than 1 clash of titans as the field narrows and the competition heats up.
Here are the matchups for Round 2, the Sweet 16. Click on any topic to explore the kind of classes you’re voting to see more of at AU Las Vegas 2016.
