1. Describe a project that was particularly challenging. What was challenging about it? What was the solution and what results did you achieve?

   A. I designed a hat box to accommodate different sizes in Solidworks. The maximum lip dimensions were put into an Excel spreadsheet and I was given an image to trace. By accident the box also turned out to be suitable to be converted to fit a Star Vader helmet.

   B. I designed a SAM – sniffer (sensor) in 3D AutoCad. It is a detector for a dirty radiation bomb.

2. Which CAD software programs do you find the most useful for the kind of work that you do?

   I use AutoCad for 2D work, and SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Pro/E, Creo for 3D.

3. What are the pros and cons of the various CAD software programs that you use?

   I keep up to date with software by practicing

4. How do you keep yourself up-to-date with the various developments in your field of work?

   I do everything myself. I don’t feel comfortable giving work to someone else because it may not turn out to be correct. I would rather make and correct my own mistakes.
