Abstract
Texas A&M University is a member of the Foundation Coalition, which is funded by the National Science Foundation. As part of the development of the sophomore engineering science courses, several in-class laboratory demonstrations have been developed. One of these is a four-point bend test. The students are able to make load-deflection measurements in the classroom, and determine the modulus of elasticity for different materials. This paper will describe the setup, procedure, and give examples of how different evaluation methods correlate.
