Who Says Engineering Types Can't Be Creative?

In anticipation of our Career Conference, I assigned a group of the students the task of redecorating the display window at the east end of Building 19. I left the concept and design up to them; my only requirement was
that it be completed by today (May 3rd).

Behold! Their completed assignment!
This is one of several "surprise" assignments I've sprung on the class this quarter. It's a very "real world" example of how the best planned schedules have to be altered to accommodate special projects. A customer with a rush job, who is willing to pay a premium price, will often be indulged. As designers and drafters, we must be able to complete these new tasks with minimal impact to our other schedules. This group has done an excellent job of accomplishing just that.
Congratulations Anthony, Brenden, Carrie, Tim and Tracy!
