IP cores may be licensed to another party or can be owned and used by a single party alone.
What to do to be an architect... Step 1: Be rich. Step 2: Graduate from architecture school. Step 3: Be rich. If you are rich, you probably could have a 2.4 GPA and cause car crashes by sleep driving and still become an architect.
The architecture program at Texas A&M University adopted the 4+2 pattern in 1969, with the first professional degree given at the graduate level. The program is built on the undergraduate foundation of a pre-professional degree in architecture, such as the Bachelor of Environmental Design with Option in Architectural Studies. The Master of Architecture program requires 52 credit hours typically spread over two years. The core curriculum is an examination of the processes of design; systems of construction; relationships to the environmental, social, historical, and geographical context; and an understanding of the behavior and use of symbols in architecture.
