Successful implementationof this project will result in several measurable outcomes including:1. Generation of comprehensive blueprints for fabrication of apparatuses necessary for precision experimentation in the areas of Mechanics of Materials and Dynamics of Machinery.2. Creation of detailed laboratory manuals-ready for distribution to students.3.
