Just a little something I made in Engineering last year...

So, I go to a school that starts students on the medical or engineering career track, so I decided to take the class. Around the end of April of this year, I made this in my spare time in class. It is my favorite thing I made in the class, and I feel like sharing. Lucky you.

...was that made in Solidworks?

What all do they teach in your Engineering course?

My school doesn't have the money for any of those nice cad programs outside of the drafting class... We get to solder things and build stuff with our hands instead, and write down our designs on paper and pencil...

@Argent: It was made with AutoDesk Inventor. It's a great, albeit expensive as hell, starter program, that does most of the work for you, instead of making you enter in EVERY piece of information.
@NuclearWatermelon: My school is magnet school, so it gets state money to pay for all the equipment and software need for both Health students and Engineering students. Health kids get hospital beds and basic equipment like heart monitors and IVs, while Engineers get newish computers with a AutoDesk Suite, with programs ranging from basic AutoCAD to 3DMax. It's pretty badass.
