The Supporting Skills Course for Architects and Designers(SS4AD) is a modern approach to learning. The course consists of many small knowledge modules. Each module provides contents that focus only a single or couple of topics and can be completed in a short period (i.e. 1 credit). After completed a module, students will have knowledge in the specific topic which they can apply to help in theirs studies or works. For example, students who complete the Wood 101 will be able to make a wood model for theirs design work by themselves. Since each module take short periods to study, students can take up to 3 modules in the SSC. Furthermore, they can choose to learn only topics that they want.

• Students can choose only topics that they want to learn.
• The knowledge modules provide extra skills or knowledge that students do not have in the core courses of the curriculum.
• Students can add extra skills or knowledge that they need for theirs studies or works.
