Happy Graduations!

Congratulations to Bruce Baker! A graduate with honers of the M.E.D. program at the end of Winter Quarter, he participated in CPTC's Graduation Ceremony on June 15th.

Tim Carroll also participated, recieving his Welding Certificate. This, only a couple of days after graduating from high school! Way to go, Tim...it's also great to have you back. We're glad you're continuing your education with CPTC's Mechanical Engineering Design program.

Belated Career Conference Recap...

It's been a busy spring and summer! We're currently trying to pack eleven weeks of course work into a nine week quarter. The students are busier than ever, but I felt I should produce a blog update before too much more time passed by!

We successfully participated in CPTC's Career Conference on May 10th, recieving over 100 guests through the course of the day. All M.E.D. the students participated, either by greeting guests at the classroom door or through classroom demonstrations. Tracy and Carrie are seen here ready to greet guests at the door.

Steve and Tim hold court at the left with a group of guests interested in AutoCAD and other aspects of Mechanical Engineering Design.

In addition to being ready for classroom demonstrations, one group of students were assigned the task of working with Manufacturing Technologies students to document the building of a Stirling Engine. M.E.D. students created detail and assembly drawings while the Manufacturing Technologies students created a physical working model. Guests arriving at the M.E.D. viewed the Stirling Engine prints, then headed to Building 25 to see the working model seen below. This project was the perfect collaboration between the programs. Hopefully only the first of many more to come!
