Development of Structural Testing Laboratory

该基金支持将现代计算机接口设备应用于五门本科课程，涵盖结构混凝土和钢材设计、材料力学、振动和高级材料力学。这个项目专门为本科生提供结构测试设备和分析软件，用于课堂作业和学期项目。这种现代化的设备有助于提高学生对工程材料的真实行为的理解以及“动手”的实践经验。该奖金将由主要研究者所在机构提供同等数额的奖金。

This funding supports implementation of modern computer interfaced equipment into five undergraduate courses covering structural concrete and steel design, mechanics of materials, vibration and advanced mechanics of materials. This project specifically makes structural testing equipment and analysis software available to undergraduate students for use in class assignments and semester projects. This modern equipment helps to improve the student's understanding of real behavior of the engineering materials as well as "hands-on" practical experience. This award is being matched by an equal amount from the principal investigator's institution.
