Design software adds another dimension to student creativity

Continuing a campus custom that dates to 2014, first-year students in the School of Engineering Technologies this week created virtual jack-o'-lanterns using SolidWorks computer-aided drafting and design software.

Three winners were selected in two sections of Technical Drawing I – taught in College Avenue Labs by Katherine A. Walker and Craig A. Miller, assistant professors of engineering design technology (who also provided the photos from their classes) – as well as an honorable mention with a particularly inspiring subject.

CCD103 (Section 01)
First: Mary B. Herndon, Williamsport
Second: Chris J. Brunner, Willow Grove
Third: Matthew C. Byrnes, Manahawkin, N.J.
Honorable mention: Kyle L. Minarich, Camp Hill

Penn College offers bachelor's degrees in engineering design technology and industrial design, as well as an associate degree in engineering CAD technology.

CCD103 (Section 02)
First: Gavin J. Kirsch, Mechanicsburg
Second: Matt J. Restall, Tolland, Conn.
Third: Jacob R. Nalesnik, Frackville

Herndon is enrolled in industrial design and Kirsch is an engineering CAD technology student. The other five are in the engineering design technology major.
