Google Sketch Up & A9CAD

Before beginning construction, the students in Structures & Material Science thought about the design they wanted to create and drew a set of plans. Just like any modern day engineer, the students didn't draw the plans by hand, but rather used common CAD (stands for: Computer Aided Design) software. Some of the students used a three dimensional  software called Google SketchUp, while other's used a common engineering design software called A9CAD (similar to AutoCAD). Below are the designs of three students.
