The course meets twice weekly for a total of 4hours each week and is intended to be an active learning/laboratory course to introduce studentsto disciplines (by department) in our college, as well as engineering basics and orientation tocampus resources. An emphasis on group work pervades the course. Students are assigned toteams of 4 in the second week of the term and work with the same team throughout the semester.The first activity discussed below is intended to be a fun, team-building activity that introducesthe notion of

Later the investigation confirmed evidence of metal fatigue.Fatigue critical components must be designed based on rigorous laboratory and/or full-scalecomponent testing before they are placed in service. Fatigue failures typically start from highstress concentration areas such as notches, holes or scratches.
