Furthermore, it was even suggested to expand thisapplications functionality to also store and catalog other review material such as meeting minutesand course surveys. This feedback also made clear that with this information in an electronicformat, making it available to the reviewers prior to the on-site visit would be helpful. Overall,after using an electronic database of student material and an associated ABET catalog viewerapplication for an ABET on-site accreditation visit, it is evident that moving towards anelectronic storage format that is searchable is definitely the way forward in maintainingaccreditation material.

Material strain will also be recorded with strain gauges to determinehow much stress the sample places on the fixture during expansion. All data collected will becompared with theoretical data to ensure accuracy of the testing instrument. An erroranalysis will be performed and adjustments to the testing instrument will be completed ifnecessary. Upon completion of the project, the hands-on lab will be taught to theengineering students in Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MFET) strength ofmaterials class and Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) material selection and heattreatment class.Design
