Nondestructive Testing LaboratoryNondestructive testing (NDT) is one of the most powerful and cost effective techniques for quality andsafety control of structures, parts, and products. NDT of materials and components is crucial to aerospace,naval, railroad, and other industries. The objective of the three-credit course that was developed is tointroduce AET students to the engineering principles of ultrasound measurements by combining hands-onlaboratory experience with lectures. Specifically, the students

: Polymer composites have become an essential material and formidable choice forapplication and selection by designers in advanced structures for aerospace and marineapplications, and the hybrid nanocomposite material systems further enhance the desirableproperties along with the added benefits of the nano level material constituents. As such,effective processing techniques are required to integrate the nanomaterial particulates into thematerial systems at a larger component and structural level. Vacuum assisted resin transfermolding (VARTM) is a low cost manufacturing process regularly used for the processing ofpolymer composite laminate structures. The introduction of nano level material systems into theconventional processing methods for the
projects course for first-year students. The course, taken by more than 400students annually, is required by the mechanical, aerospace and environmental engineeringprograms and is an elective for all other programs and “open option” students who have not yetchosen an engineering major. FYEP students are typically assigned to a five-person design teamat the beginning of the class for the duration of the semester. Teams work on a brief introductoryproject and spend the bulk of the semester on a main design project.While we employed an informal social style self-evaluation in workshops in the First-YearProjects course for 12 years, we did not compile results across course sections and years. Ourformal use of peer assessment was piloted in Fall 2005

It provides a fundamentalunderstanding of the mechanical properties of various materials which makes them useful for amultitude of applications. It also provides an introduction to the analysis of staticallyindeterminate structures which allows more complex problems to be solved than is possible withstatics analysis alone.

, using discrete element (DE) model and finite element (FE)approaches. The proposed models are novel due to the consideration of the material’s truemicrostructure – including the inclusion of the matrix of the material. In addition, themodels allow large displacement between particles in the material, which is desired inengineering, military, and aerospace. The virtual test concept was developed in manyareas such as virtual test of nuclear bomb, hospital, museum, and library. A computersimulation using micro mechanics computation is virtually conducted to measure thematerial properties, simulate an engineering phenomenon, or even a design of asphaltconcrete mixture based upon the ingredient.
