provided two CAD drawings: a plan view with many dimensions in inches and a 3-Drendering of the grip. The student explains the design as follows: Here is a quick explanation on the part that I have created to allow the biology department to tensile test their materials on this new machine. The first interesting thing about my piece is that the two sides are not symmetrical. I did this to keep the overall length of the piece at 4.7" just like the calibration bar included with the machine. In doing so one also should take into account Page 25.1385.6 that one side of the machine has an obstruction that goes

implementing such a program are discussed, as well as the successes, challenges, andlessons learned during the first year of Materials Camp at UAB, along with plans for the futureof the program.Advertising and Application ProcessThe decision to hold a Materials Camp in 2011 was made relatively late, and efforts to promotethe camp did not begin until after the spring semester ended. A webpage with information aboutthe camp was added to the department website the second week of May, and several days later anemail was sent to science and math teachers at local high schools announcing the camp andincluding a printable promotional flier with a link to the website. A notice was also run severaltimes in the bi-weekly electronic newsletter distributed to all
