This semester is OVER!!! Finally... took my last final last night, now I'm done for the summer. No more Dynamics, Diff EQ, Deforms, Aircraft Performance, AOE Materials, or Industrial Processes Lab...
YAY!!!
missioncontrol:
Yep..........
I'm out for a week and a half but I'm taking classes this summer though.......

Let's see... the only real fun I had this semester was in the manufacturing processes lab.
Here's one thing I got to make in there. A mounting plate, I think its called. The base plate was cut manually, using a horizontal and vertical mill, and a hydraulic punch. The vertical plate on the right (with the X and the arc) was cut using a CNC program I wrote, and the plate on the left was cut using CAM software. It has a pocket on the other side you can't see. What I'm really proud of is the weld I did. It was my first time welding ever! I did the weld on the right side by hand, and the weld on the left side by robot.

I know everyone here likes the BYOAC tokens... well here's a coin I made in the lab. Filled a mold with ultra-fine brass powder, compressed it on a hydraulic press, and then sintered it in an oven at around 800 degrees F, and then polished it.

We made an ashtray, too, using aluminum blanks and a press. Our instructor informed us it was a "cointray", not an ashtray... guess they can't be seen as promoting smoking, lol.
