The Engineering & Industrial Design Technology Department recently held its annual SolidWorks Pumpkin Carving Contest, a fall favorite in which first-year students "carve" virtual jack-o'-lanterns with computer software and unbridled imagination.

Three winners were selected in each of two sections of Technical Drawing I taught by Katherine A. Walker and Craig A. Miller, assistant professors of engineering design technology:

CCD103-104 Section 01 (Walker's class)
First: Josh L. Tiemann, of Fleetwood
Second: Ellen E. Buckley, of Binghamton, N.Y.
Third: Jarod R. Koleno, Morrisdale

CCD103-104 Section 02 (Miller's class)
First: Dallas N. Phillips, of Wyckoff, N.J.
Second: Camden J. Gormont, of Frenchville
Third: Evan D. Schoettle, of Richboro

Buckley is an industrial design student; all of the others are enrolled in engineering design technology.
