308: Design Your Own 3-D Virtual Enviornment!

Dive into the new CAD program that will allow you to use 3D design tools with the help of a SketchUp expert so you can design a city or re-arrange your room. This cool modeling tool even has a cool integration with Google Earth too. This is a great tool for future engineering and architecture students to become familiar with. At the end of Cougar Quest you can have your designs posted on the Cougar Quest website for your family and friends to check out.

About: I have been pretty busy over the last year. I am currently working on my thesis for my PhD in Computer Science at WSU. Additionally, I also teach 1 to 2 classes each semester and work in the Pervasive Computing Research Lab on campus. I am working on situation awareness and context modeling in wireless sensor networks. In June I had my first baby, a girl, who is getting big too fast. She is already smiling, laughing, and trying to crawl. I enjoy going to Starbucks with my friends and being outside (especially around water) in the summer.
