I have almost 3 years of IDP credits under my belt, during and after undergrad school. I'll be applying this fall for my masters. My only experience has been in big box retail and telecomm buildings. I was a PM for only the DD phase before it was handed off for construction to someone else. I've prepared CD sets, but have yet to see anything come to fruition (where I was in charge).
Question: How should I display the Design Development I've done? Should I show the details of a CD set that my boss designed, but I drew in CAD?
You should search on here, because that has been covered before. It seems like the suggestion I always see not to use cad or anything else in the graduate admissions. The school wants to see your design ability and not your cad skills. I understand that skills are skills, but they rather see nice renderings, sketches, photography, something that shows your analytical thinking, design ability etc.
Good luck

How to display "intern" work in graduate admissions portfolio?
