Description

The Engineering Fundamentals EFK6-MKII Materials fundamentals kit is designed to enable students to gain an understanding of the fundamentals of engineering by the process of learning via hands-on experimentation.

Practical experience allows students to see the real-world application of theoretical knowledge, leading to a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of engineering principles.

The modular kit is supplied in conjunction with a multifunctional base unit enabling the student to conduct their own experiments in subjects such as types of supports, torque and torsion, tensile stress, tensile strain and shear strain.

Each kit is supplied with a highly visual user-friendly operational guide, enabling the student to understand the theory of the subject by the application of practical experimentation.
