- Graphics
The College has offered Graphics courses since 1885. While the content has changed with the times, students are still taught basic drafting skills before moving on to learn to use the newest software that engineers use to create drawings today. Coupled with the ever developing material, the courses themselves have undergone many changes in structure and organization. From 1885 to 1994, these courses were offered through an independent Engineering Graphics department; from 1994 to 2008 they were offered through the Civil & Environmental Engineering & Geodetic Science Department. After 2008, Graphics courses have been offered through the Engineering Education Innovation Center (2008-2015) and now through the Department of Engineering Education (EED).
The EED offers six main courses for Graphics: 1121, 1180, 1221, 1222, 4410.01, and 4410.02.
To meet the needs of engineering and non-engineering students, the two main goals of these courses are:
- Graphics communication and visualization
- Problem solving through programming
Each course is offered at least once per year and all are taught in computer classrooms where students have access to their own computer workstation to complete daily in-class assignments. Engineering students have access to the computer lab in Hitchcock 342 and the features this facility provides. Please see the facilities tab for more information on the software available in the Hitchcock computer labs.

First, a bit of news: yes, I managed to get XAMPP and WordPress installed and import this site into it (at least up through Wednesday). My next trick will be to understand how the tables fit together and create a single table that has all the stuff I want in it, so I can actually use the thing. No, it will not be easy, but yes, I have enough understanding of SQL to do that, and yes, I will be making a backup copy of the database for when I screw it up.
Like a lot of people I know, I have the terrible habit of saying "yes" when I really mean "no." At least I did. My career from grammar school through the stroke was all about saying "yes" when I meant "no," and I'm sure it was a contributing factor to the stroke. Maybe not directly, but because I did self-destructive things in an attempt to assuage myself because I had said "yes" when I meant "no."
Blame it on codependency if you want, but what I needed to learn was not to say "yes" when I meant "no." Mary used to joke that I needed to make myself flash cards that said "NO!" on them. She was right.
I love this:
Not that I ever said it to anyone, mind you, including many times I should have.
Yes, this is part of Linda Hill's Stream of Consciousness Saturday.

Speaking from experience, Victory Patterns has very professional patterns that will produce a finished product you can be proud of. This line of patterns reads more like a traditional paper pattern than a PDF because the directions are concise, and it is assumed you have knowledge of some basic sewing terms and techniques. Be sure to pay attention to the "Beginner" or "Intermediate" labels provided on the pattern covers to choose the ones most appropriate for your skill level. The Roxanne is suitable for beginners, so feel free to dive in! Once you read through the review below, make sure you get your copy of this pattern for 25% off!
A few other highlights in regards to this pattern include:
* Fits sizes 2- 16. Be sure to measure yourself and refer to the size chart provided.
* Measurements are given in both inches and centimeters.
* Fabric requirements are between 2 1/4 and 2 3/4 yards depending on size and the version chosen.
* There are 36 pattern pages to print out. The pattern pieces are digitized and all sizes are nested together. An optional copy shop version of the pattern is provided if you'd like to have the pieces printed out on one large sheet.
* A 4-in square is provided to check the printing scale. Also, the grainlines are clearly marked, notches for matching are provided, and other marking are clearly labeled by referencing the helpful symbol legend.
* The Piece Inventory, Cutting Instructions, Cutting Layout, and Glossary all ensure you'll have no problems getting started.
* The entire tutorial is 12 pages long and jammed pack with helpful diagrams and expert directions.
* There are no zippers or buttonholes, but you do have to attach a hook and eye on Version 2.
Let's take a look at the smashing version Bec has sewn up and read what she has to say about the pattern!
I have been sewing since I was 12. I would classify myself as an intermediate, perhaps a little more to the advanced direction as there was a large period of time in the middle of then and now when I did not sew. The pattern, for me, was not that difficult to put together. It took me about 3 hours total from the time I started cutting the fabric to finishing the top completely. I was going slower than I usually would and taking time to read all the steps carefully so next time I would hope it to take a bit less time. For a beginner, there may be a few challenging moments if doing the option with sleeves and attaching the binding.
The actual pattern was excellent. The pages and pieces were all clearly marked, the paper was easy to put together after printing, and I was clearly aware of what piece was what. The directions were easy to follow. I had to read the pocket instructions a couple of times to see what they wanted me to do, as I had never done this type of pocket before. Also the way the binding was put on was a little different than how I had done it before, but it was good to learn a new way of doing it.
The only thing I did do differently was press my neck binding/tie piece before attaching it. I found it easier to have everything pressed and folded in before starting to attach it instead of trying to fold it under once half sewn, as the directions suggested. Plus, I top-stitched all my seams so that the very light cotton lawn doesn't get pulled at the seams, and I made the sleeves longer.
This is a lovely top when finished. We are having a really hot summer here in Australia and I wanted some long sleeve shirts for when I am out helping my husband on our farm, this one is so cool to wear and just perfect. I used a very light cotton lawn fabric so it has a lovely light drape to it. I cut my fabric out in a size 12 according to my bust measurement, which fell just between size 10 & 12. I have found now that I should have used the next size up. The only reason for this is that I have quite strong straight shoulders, and I do often have to go up a size when purchasing shirts and dresses that are fitted across my top half, or I feel it pull across my back. This is the case for this top when I try it on now. Next time I will be measuring across my upper back/shoulder area and comparing that to the back yoke before cutting out. I will still be wearing it though as it is a flattering top and feels lovely to wear.
I really love this pattern! I have never made a shirt before and thought it would be much harder than it actually was. I will definitely be making this pattern again, as said above, but next time I will take more care with the back yoke size for myself. I would also like to try mixing it up a little more on the back piece, using gathers instead of pleats or even downsizing the lower back piece so that it has a straight back. I would also like to have a go at making a short sleeve version, too. I would recommend this pattern to others as I enjoyed making it and will certainly enjoy wearing it. I will have to go shopping and buy some more light summer fabric. I can see many varieties of this being a staple in my wardrobe.
Doesn't that blue look fabulous on her? Pair this top with a great pair of skinny jeans, an oversized bag, and some cute boots... insta-amazing outfit! I always wear my long-sleeve button up shirts with my sleeves slightly rolled up, so I thought it was a nice touch that she made the sleeves a bit longer so she could roll them up. I think this would look so awesome in a polka-dotted voile.
Pair it Up
These feminine finds are sure to turn heads when paired with the Roxanne!
This over-sized bag is just as useful as it is fashion-forward! The Market Bag from Artsy-Crafty Babe can be used for everyday wear or more utilitarian purposes such as a beach bag, laundry bag, or overnight bag. The dimensions are 23" wide x 17" tall x 6" deep. Sew it up in your favorite bold print and make a statement!

London, United Kingdom -- Britain will go to the polls this coming May 7 in its first fixed-date election. Years of irresponsible ''New Labour'' pink glasses economics have left the United Kingdom with a significant burden of debt and a structural deficit that has yet to be brought under control. The economic crisis only compounded Britain's fiscal fragility.
The financial austerity made necessary to re-balance the books has not helped to make the current Conservative government very popular. Like France, Greece and Spain, the United Kingdom has seen its electorate fragmented by the emergence of single issue populist or separatist parties that have made unstable hung or minority parliaments more likely.
The outgoing Conservative Prime Minister, David Cameron, has been under significant pressure to improve the public perception environment for his Conservatives. Although consistently more popular than his own party, many in his camp see him as a liability and a significant drag on their re-election prospects. In a probable effort to mitigate some of this internal nervousness, Cameron surprised many by announcing that he would not seek a third mandate.
The Conservatives also have to deal with significant pressure from the right. Nigel Farage and his United Kingdom Independence Party, or UKIP, are poised to cause a number of upsets as the Party siphons off support to take seats from the Conservatives or divide the vote and sacrifice seats to Labour. UKIP has successfully galvanised the anti-European sentiment being blamed for the country's economic woes, by promising to leave the EU, exert greater control over the UK's borders and cut foreign aid.
The only other man that could become Prime Minister is best known for knifing his own brother to become Leader of his Party. David Miliband was Gordon Brown's Foreign Secretary and favored to replace him. To beat him, Ed would make a pact with the devil himself: Unions. Outside of his spectacular Greek tragedy inspired entrance, Ed Miliband has mostly fizzled into a Mr. Bean-like, gaff-prone media gift that just keeps on giving.
He has forgotten speech subjects; how he would deal with the UK deficit or how he would fix the immigration crisis his ''New Labour'' predecessors created; he has been unable to say what he and his family spend on average for groceries, earning him an''out of touch with reality''brand that has been difficult to shake; a populist attempt at eating a bacon sandwich backfired -- the pictures speak for themselves; he omitted telling a journalist interviewing him and his wife that they had two kitchens in their £2.5M home. The headline to that story coined him Ed ''two kitchens'' Miliband. Priceless.
Finally, there was a friendly fire shot he took from Labour MP Simon Danczuk, who told a reporter that anyone who claimed Mr. Miliband was popular was simply "telling lies"; constituents he was talking to were telling him they don't want him as Prime Minister because they thought he was "aloof". "They'd prefer to go for a pint with David Cameron than they would with Ed Miliband, that's the reality of it".
Any potential UKIP induced Labour gains vis-à-vis the Conservatives will be offset by significant projected losses Labour will suffer at the hands of the Scottish National Party or SNP. Its leadership has made clear it will do what it can to defeat a new Conservative government, preferring to hold the balance of power in a potential Labour Government. Conservatives have been quick to remind voters this would translate into a Labour Government that would be dependent on a separatist Party to hold power, a scenario of chaos for the British economy.
Finally, the polls are doing what they do best: speculating. The last two had one putting Labour ahead by four, while the other had the Conservatives ahead by four. Good luck making heads or tails of those poll interpretations. With just over a month to EDay, it is still very much anybody's race. And so the Battle for Britain begins.

Volunteer firefighter charged for multiple CQ arson offences
A TEENAGE rural fire brigade member has been charged over the lighting of seven fires in the region since May.
The 19-year-old man was charged with seven counts of unlawfully setting fire to crops or plants after police executed a search warrant on a River St address in Mount Morgan yesterday.
Detective Senior Sergeant Luke Peachey said investigations were continuing with up to 125 fires lit in three months.
The fires were predominantly lit around Mt Morgan, Gracemere and Alton Downs in the past three months.
Police have not ruled out the possibility that the teen was working alone.
"Through information we've received from the public ... and as a result of our investigations, we attended this address and seized a number of items of interest," Det Sen Sgt Peachey said.
He said a large amount of forensic evidence had been gathered during the investigation including items police believe were used to start the fires.

READ HERE: State at mercy of drought's relentless march
"There's been no serious damage to property (from these fires) however there has been a large amount of grazing land and grass land destroyed," Snr Sgt Peachey said.
"There's a large amount of evidence we hope will forensically link this person to the fires, and not only the seven that we have charged him with."
Snr Sgt Peachey said an accelerant was used to start some of the fires with mosquito coils and cotton wool balls used in others as delayed fuses.
He said the teen, a volunteer firefighter, was granted bail with very strict conditions.
He is due to appear in Rockhampton Magistrates Court on August 27.
"It's very very concerning he (a rural fire volunteer) has been involved in these," Sen Sgt Peachey said.
"They're trained with a certain amount of knowledge of how to set these fires and put these fires out."
He said the teen, who was a person of interest for police for some time, had not participated in any interviews with police as of 11am today.
Snr Sgt Peachey said police , who were working very closely with the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services, were still asking the public to come forward with any information they have about suspicious fires this year.

There cannot be a sufficient stress laid on the need to look presentable when it comes to being at a place of work or leisure. Thus the tie can be a more accepted way of dressing for work in many establishments for the air of formality that it provides. But it helps to be flexible in the manner of dressing that often people tend to adopt at places of work to suit the requirement at best.
The formal look and atmosphere
The tie can be said to be an indispensable part of a gentleman. Thus in situations when the need to look spic and span is had, the role of the tie becomes central to the situation always. That does not mean that all work places do adopt such a code. There are some positions that simply do not fit in with the look or air that a tie provides and here is such circumstance it is more judicious to try out something less strict.
It is often the uniform of the managers to sport a tie at best. This has been an accepted practice for a long time now. With the long hours that most managers spend at meetings and at the work table it would seem the more acceptable option as well. Rarely does one see a manager of a firm standing out in the sun supervising work.
There is also an accepted practice among those in marketing to sport a tie as well on most occasions. Here the prime concern is to project an image that is at best formal so that the folks that do come in contact with such people are made to feel impressed. Since additionally the marketing folks are the ones that are in touch with different clients and suppliers that it would be a wise move to take to a very conservative look as well.
The changing perception of the tie
The modern day tie has been in a lot more applications than previously done. This has in many ways brought about a rethink in its application as well as the material it is usually made of. No longer do people use ties that are turned out in silk or a similar material. This has been a watershed of sorts that meant that the tie came to be seen in a lot more practical uses than before.
Fashion has the habit of turning accepted practices on its head and this has happened in the case of the use of the tie as well. People are seen using this very traditional of dressing items in a variety of ways than previously considered. It thus becomes more of a statement to use a tie made of leather and which is something that is very personal to the wearer.
The greater acceptability of the tie
With changes in the role of the tie, it has taken on new applications in places of work and otherwise. And the success that this clothing item has had in its longetivity has been ensured by the ability of this strip of cloth to take on new meaning and uses as well.

Anybody out there interested in a new C/C++ preprocessor?
I'm currently working on a C++ compiler which translates C++ to
(K&R) C and is supposed to run on every machine with a working C
compiler that supports a `certain standard'.
As part of that project I'm now concerned with the preprecessor
and the idea came to my mind to take the chance and implement one that
includes all kinds of nice features we always wanted to see.
But what features are that?
Well of course I thought of a few (and stole some from the GNU
preprocessor) but I'm sure there's more to it. To give you an idea of
what I'm thinking of, take these for example:
- Warnings are (optionally) given for #undef's which clear macros that
are not defined - this may help track down some kinds of errors.
- A special file may be created that contains a list of all included
files (I first saw this as a feature of the GNU preprocessor and I liked
it immediately).
The features must be well suited for a preprocessor and of
course they may *not* violate the standard behaviour. What I'm really
looking for are (not neccesarily ingenious) ideas that could
be useful in certain situations - the kind of `Ooooh I wish my
preprocessor could do this for me now!'
Because of the fact that a C++ preprocessor is very much the
same as an ANSI C preprocessor I will only write one program that can
handle both. So your suggestions may refer to C features and C++
features as well.
Any ideas? I can't wait to hear about them!

[...] Add these trends together and they form the picture of a new and different kind of physicality. What does it mean? And how will that feel? And what can we do about it?
