In order to better prepare the engineers for modern day technology, several enhancements are planned for the Mechanics of Deformable Bodies Laboratory. The project has three goals: (a) to introduce the students to tests for dynamic loading, e.g. reversed cycle fatigue tests, (b) to simulate a real-life situation in the laboratory by tasking the students with the design and performance of their own tests that will characterize a new material or a product, and (c) to train the students in the use of industry standard testing equipment, and automatic data acquisition system. In order to successfully meet these goals, the lab will be augmented with a versatile material testing machine that is equipped with automatic control features, and a PC based data acquisition system for real-time data recording and analysis. The Mechanics of Deformable Bodies Lab is a requirement for both Mechanical and Civil Engineering majors. Mechanical Engineering is the largest department in the college, and the combined student population of mechanical and Civil Engineering departments is more than 50 percent of all the engineering students enrolled. Given the large number of students that are required to take this course and the fraction of them who are women (25 %) and minorities (15 %), the enhancement of the lab is imperative and its impact will be truly significant

为了更好地为现代技术的工程师做好准备，计划对可变形体力学实验室进行几项改进。 该项目有三个目标：（a）向学生介绍动态负载测试，例如反向循环疲劳测试;（B）让学生自行设计和执行测试，以表征新材料或产品，从而模拟实验室中的真实情况;以及（c）训练学生使用行业标准测试设备和自动数据采集系统。为了成功实现这些目标，实验室将增加一台配备自动控制功能的多功能材料试验机，以及一个基于PC的数据采集系统，用于实时数据记录和分析。 变形体力学实验室是机械和土木工程专业的要求。 机械工程是学院最大的系，机械和土木工程系的学生人数占所有工程专业学生的50%以上。 鉴于需要参加这门课程的学生人数众多，其中女性（25%）和少数民族（15%）所占比例很高，因此加强实验室势在必行，其影响将非常显著
