These details have been incorporated into the curriculum of many architecture, engineering, and construction management schools, and are used in the International Masonry Training and Education Foundation's curriculum for BAC craftworkers. The MDS details have been featured by the likes of SketchUp and Architizer, and have been used by countless professional architecture and engineering firms, attesting to the value and reach of IMI’s technical content.
