Week: #5 -- Walls and Layers

Another week has come and gone. Much has been done through the past 4 days or so. First, we were instructed on how to design simple structures in AutoCAD, including a framed wall. The knowledge of how to measure walls, as well as where to put studs, windows, and the like was acquired. Furthermore, we were taught on what "layers" are and how to make them in AutoCAD. Their value in distinguishing individual parts in a drawing is unparalleled so far.

The project groups met once more for further work on projects. My current group was able to establish dimensions of our grill, along with the material list. The second day of project work (yesterday) our group learned the basics of welding, using the arc-welder. A good amount of fun, though I did, admittedly, get frustrated at my lack of skill in the craft. More practice is mandatory.

Alas, now comes the time for the essential question. This time it is the different levels of education and educational degrees, post secondary school. The primary and most well known degrees are as follows: Associates Degree, Bachelors Degree, Masters Degree, and Doctorate. Also, some certificates in junior colleges could be earned, such as those for engineering, science, math, et cetera.
