Mechanical Engineering CAD Project
I love SW, but it cant touch ProE in assembly mode. I think its much better to learn on ProE because its alot less intuitive than SW. Learn on ProE, and you'll be a SW Ninja. Catia is very nice as well. Did you design everything from scratch, or are the dimensions already given? Very cool regardless.

Given dimensions, if I fully dissambled my engine to measure out each part it'll be for my senior project

Once you learn either ProE or Catia, any other program will be cake after that.

I forgot to even say nice work man! In terms of 3D programs in general, I've done a fair amount of work in Rhino 3D (more art-style than design-style program), Hammer (Valve's map editor), and Google Sketch-Up.

I built coilovers from scratch for my final project, including internals. Took me forever and they still looked like shit, got me an A though. I had the hardest time with the springs (variable pitch swing)
@4lex,
I'm just finishing my first semester of junior year. Mechanical engineering is a 4 year major here at Rutgers and with the aerospace option I'm taking, its 5 years.
