STARTING ON CATIA...
WHILE I'M WAITING TO FINISH MY PICTURE BLOG, I'LL FILL YOU IN WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY ENGINEERING GRAPHICS CLASS. WE'RE FINALLY GETTING STARTED LEARNING THE DRAFTING DESIGN PROGRAM, CATIA. THE BOOK IS QUITE FRUSTRATING, BUT THE PROGRAM ITSELF IS PRETTY FUN. IT'S A LITTLE MORE INVOLVED THAN THE ARCHITECTURAL AUTO CAD THAT I'M USED TO, BUT IT'S NOT TOO BAD; AT LEAST NOT YET IT'S NOT. HERE ARE SOME SCREENSHOTS OF MY FIRST COUPLE OF PROJECTS. ENJOY.

A LOOK AT MY SCHOOL...
I DECIDED, FINALLY, TO WALK AROUND MY SCHOOL AND TAKE SOME PICTURES FOR YOU ALL. I GOT OUT OF CLASS YESTERDAY MORNING AT 9:30, SO I HAD TIME. THERE ARE A LOT OF PICTURES HERE. WE'LL START AT THE LIBRARY.
THIS IS AT THE CIRCLE IN FRONT OF THE LIBRARY. THIS IS PRETTY MUCH WHAT YOU SEE AS YOU'RE COMING IN THE MAIN ENTRANCE OF THE SCHOOL...
THE LIBRARY HAS A HUGE COLLECTION OF MAGAZINES, THE GOOD ONES, AND IT HAS SOME NICE LOUNGE AREAS WITH SKY LIGHTS. THIS COLLECTION OF NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC DATES BACK TO 1980...
THEY HAVE EVERY POPULAR SCIENCE MAGAZINE SINCE 2002...
THIS IS OUTSIDE THE FITNESS CENTER. THIS PLACE IS GREAT. I HAVEN'T USED IT YET, BUT I'M GOING TO START PACKING CLOTHES SO I CAN WORK OUT, GO FOR A SWIM AND TAKE A SHOWER BETWEEN CLASSES. I HAVE ABOUT 2.5 HOURS BETWEEN CLASSES ON TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS...
THIS IS THE LEHMAN BUILDING. IT'S THE ENGINEERING BUILDING AND IT'S MY FAVORITE PLACE TO GO. THIS IS WHERE I'LL BE SPENDING MOST OF MY TIME WHILE AT THIS SCHOOL...
THIS IS LOOKING OUT FROM THE ENTRANCE OF THE BUILDING...
THE OBSERVATORY IS BEHIND THE BUILDING. KIND OF AN ODD SPOT FOR IT. THERE'S A HUGE TELESCOPE IN THERE. I LOOKED THROUGH IT AND SAW JUPITER AND FOUR OF ITS MOONS...
INSIDE THE LEHMAN BUILDING...
ZEUS. I KNOW IT'S HARD TO SEE, BUT THIS THING IS CRAZY. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT NUMBERS, BUT IT HAS SOMETHING LIKE 120 COMPUTERS AND 256 PROCESSORS. THEY HAVE TO KEEP THE TEMPERATURE IN THIS ROOM REALLY LOW BECAUSE OF THE HEAT THE COMPUTERS GENERATE...
THIS IS SOME KIND OF CENTRIFUGAL AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM. I'M ASSUMING IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S DESIGNED TO GO INTO SPACE...
YOU SEE THESE MODELS AIRPLANES EVERYWHERE...
IN THE BACK YOU CAN SEE SOME SORT OF PRESSURE CHAMBER OR SOMETHING...
WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHAT ALL THIS STUFF IS? YEAH, SO WOULD I....
HERE ARE SOME DRAWINGS DONE ON CATIA. CATIA IS THE COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN/DRAFTING PROGRAM THAT I'M LEARNING TO USE. THE TWO ON BOTTOM ARE OF A 12 CYLINDER ENGINE...
AIR FRICTION ON THE BLADE OF A TURBINE ENGINE...
MATERIALS LAB...
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS...
I CAN'T WAIT TO GO INTO THESE CLASSROOMS...
IT'S BLURRY BECAUSE THE ROOM WAS DARK, BUT THOSE THINGS SITTING ON THE TABLE ARE LITTLE ROBOTS... HOMEMADE ROBOTS...
THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN FROM INSIDE THE COLLEGE OF AVIATION BUILDING. THERE'S SOME COOL STUFF IN HERE TOO. THERE'S ONE CLASSROOM THAT HAS THE JET ENGINES THAT I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT JUST SITTING INSIDE, BUT THE LIGHTS WERE OFF IN THAT ROOM SO I DIDN'T GET A PICTURE...
THIS IS THE METEOROLOGY CENTER. YOU CAN'T SEE MUCH BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO GO INSIDE AND INTERRUPT CLASS, BUT IT'S REALLY COOL TO SEE. I SAW HURRICANE BILL ON THAT BIG SCREEN IN THERE...
THIS IS LOOKING AT THE AIRPORT FROM THE 3RD FLOOR OF THE AVIATION BUILDING. YOU CAN SEE PART OF OUR FLEET OF CESSNAS. THERE'S NO TELLING HOW MANY WERE ACTUALLY IN THE SKY AT THIS POINT...
MORE PLANES ON THE OTHER SIDE. YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY IN THE BACKGROUND ON THE RIGHT...
CRAZY ASS JET ENGINE THAT WAS DONATED BY DELTA. I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I DESIGN MY FIRST ONE...
THIS ONE WAS TAKEN OFF OF A FIGHTER JET...
THESE NEXT THREE PICTURES WERE IN SOME KIND OF MAINTENANCE GARAGE OR SOMETHING...
THEY HAD A LITTLE PERSONAL HELICOPTER IN THERE!!
THIS IS THE SPIRIT ROCK. IT SITS IN THE MIDDLE OF CAMPUS AND ANYONE IS FREE TO PAINT WHATEVER THEY WANT ON IT. IT CHANGES DAILY...
THIS IS A PICTURE OF MY FEET. THESE FEET WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR WALKING AROUND TO BRING YOU THESE WONDERFUL PICTURES...
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST... FOOD. THIS IS ONE OF THE ON-CAMPUS RESTAURANTS, PROPELLERS...
CAFETERIA AT THE STUDENT CENTER...
SALAD BAR...
EINSTEIN BROTHERS AT THE STUDENT VILLAGE...
ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET ALSO AT THE STUDENT VILLAGE. THIS IS WHERE I USUALLY EAT...
THIS BLOG TOOK ME FOREVER TO POST, SO I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT. NOW BACK TO HOMEWORK.
