Education and Outreach

---

The following materials are related to  simple custom mechanical testing devices used to measure the mechanical properties of materials. The simple design of these devices helps students to understand the concepts associate with mechanical testing. These devices can also be used to develop activities for mechanics of materials  and materials sciences related courses and for K12 outreach modules. 

 We welcome anyone curious about these topic to put together a testing device and try the activity at home or for instructors to use in the classroom, camps, clubs, etc.  Feel free to email beachley@rowan.edu with questions or to discuss.
