During my 3rd year as a student at Auburn,  One of the many classes I took was my materials and manufacturing class.  Professor. Shuwen Zhang gave our class a new challenge to while learning about injection molding. 

​

We were also taking a Solid Works Intro class at the time as well and she decided to mix the two together and asked us to design a new office product (such as a pencil sharpener) on solid works to meet all the real-world criteria as if it were actually going to be sent out to be injection molded.
