MT234 Mechanical Testing Lab

The mechanical testing lab course introduces students to concepts and applications of mechanical testing through experiments. The course has 3 credits and no lectures, consisting entirely of laboratory work. Students will conduct experiments to test materials for properties like tensile strength, hardness, impact resistance, fatigue, and creep. The goals are for students to understand mechanical testing methods, evaluate materials, analyze test results, and address issues in materials testing.
