reveals interference fringes as shown in Figure 2. This lab was taught in Spring 2022 toapproximately 25 students in a mechanical measurements course for juniors and seniors inmechanical engineering. Typically, this content would be taught alongside strain gauges, whichrepresent a more traditional measurement of mechanical strain. In our course, strain gauges wereintroduced theoretically only due to a lack of supply. Students were tasked with acquiringholograms of different metals (aluminum, steel, brass) and under different point loads (rangingfrom 10s to 100s of grams). By counting the number and location of fringes, much like reading acontour or topography map, students could then plot out the deformation along the position ofthe beam
