• What did you do today?
• Briefly describe your day's activities.
We woke up in the morning and we assembled at the function hall 12 for a briefing by the teachers and followed by breakfast. Then, we head out to our various schools. Ours was School of Material Science and Engineering. We took a long time to find the room that we were suppose to go to and we found it finally after an hour or so. At the location, we were taught the basics of Tensile Testing of Engineering Materials, Scanning Electron Microscope and Composite Material Processing. Following the talk by the assistant professer, we headed for our tea break. We reported back to our location for composite material processing. I found this part of the project really interesting. This is because we learnt the uses and benefits of creating composite materials. We poured a mixture of epoxy and hardener in the ration of 3:1 on the fibre sheets which hardend to become a really good composite materials. Next, we were left off to our lunch break. We finished our composite material processing very quickly so we had a long time for our break. After our lunch break, we went for our tensile testing. This was really fun. We found out how much a material could bend. Following that, we went for a small tea break and went to the electron microscope session. This was really interesting. I found myself really fascinated by the electron microscope by how it works and how helpful it is.
• What did you learn today?
• What did you learn today?
I learnt a lot basically a lot about how materials are helpful in our everyday life.
• Describe any learning points from today's activities
A learning point is that every different material has its own properties which can be used in many different ways to help human survival
• How do you feel about today's activities?
• Describe how the project has affected your understanding of the discipline?
The project has helped me understand the discipline better.
• How may this discipline be applied elsewhere?
It my be applied in our everyday life to solve problems such as knowing how much of certain material we are suppose to use to hold a weight without the material snapping.
• Share your insights for the day?
Not really anything much... here a picture of our group!
