The engineering labs at Penn State Great Valley are equipped with many machines, one of which is a Water Jet. Being trained in how to use this machine in 2021, I found it to be a very fun way to make cool pieces of art out of metal. I have made several designs in SolidWorks (a CAD software) and exported them into the Water Jet. Some of these designs include a mountain scene featuring wildlife, an American flag with a police officer standing next to it, and a fireman kneeling next to the American flag. These designs are shown in the following images.

Some additional designs are being made for the US armed forces. These designs have not been cut yet, but preliminary models are pictured below. The plan is to make a design for all of the remaining branches.
