Engineering - Mechanical (56)This project is developing fourteen experiments and building seventeen apparatuses for an undergraduate laboratory designed for conducting experiments in Mechanics of Materials and Dynamics of Machinery. The experiments and the apparatus being developed through this project may be utilized as starting points for the new laboratories or used to strengthen the existing laboratories. Undergraduate students are participating in research, design and development stages of the project in materializing all components of a "Model Laboratory". The project is helping them to improve their skills in working in teams, and their appreciation for cost-effective and superior designs. The outcomes of the project consist of:1. Developing blueprints for fabrication of apparatuses necessary for precision experimentation in the areas of Mechanics of Materials and Dynamics of Machinery.2. Creating detailed laboratory manuals for distribution to students.3. Building a comprehensive plan for putting together an affordable model laboratory that successfully addresses the fundamental requirements of undergraduate laboratories in civil and mechanical engineering as well as engineering technology programs.4. Enhancing the capabilities of future engineers/educators by involving them in the process of research, design, and development of experiments and equipment.

工程机械(56)这个项目正在为一个本科生实验室开发14个实验和建造17台仪器，该实验室旨在进行材料力学和机械动力学的实验。通过该项目开发的实验和仪器可用作新实验室的起点或用于加强现有实验室。本科生正在参与该项目的研究、设计和开发阶段，以实现“模型实验室”的所有组成部分。该项目正在帮助他们提高团队合作的技能，以及他们对高性价比和卓越设计的欣赏。该项目的成果包括：1.制定材料力学和机械动力学领域精密实验所需的仪器制造蓝图。编写详细的实验室手册，分发给学生。建立一个全面的计划，以建立一个负担得起的示范实验室，成功地满足土木工程和机械工程本科实验室以及工程技术课程的基本要求。通过让未来的工程师/教育工作者参与实验和设备的研究、设计和开发过程来提高他们的能力。
