Test Number One - Preparation Sheet

The Objectives for this Test are

• That you understand hardness testing and how to use the data to make decisions regarding product specification
• That you understand tensile testing
• That you understand the various mechanical processing techniques

The Expected Outcomes for you to Show you can meet these Objectives are

• You need to be able to describe the various test procedures (metrology. hardness, tensile) and interpret the data from them appropriately.
• You need to be able to combine information from tensile testing and mechanical processing.
• You need to be able to use all the formulae presented in the notes, not only to get a correct numerical answer, but to explain your reasoning.
• You need to be able to compare (describe, explain similarities, explain differences) the various mechanical processing techniques.
• You need to be able to solve mathematical problems clearly and according to the standards of the course.
• You need to be able to write clearly and effectively. Being concise is key.

Some Tips for Studying for Tests

• Contact me so I can help you succeed.
• Write a topic list in outline (2-3 levels) form.
• Rate how well you know the subject matter, based on the expected outcomes and objectives
• A - I know it super well (this includes, I got it right on the HW and could do it again)
• B- I know it OK, but still need to study (this includes, I got it wrong on the HW but think I could do it right in the future, or I got it right on the HW through luck)
• C- I hope the Professor forgets it (he won't) (This includes, I got it wrong on the HW and have no idea how to do it correctly)
• Study the C's first, the B's second, and the A's third.
• Prepare Review Sheets based on all relevant course materials for each topic.
• Use the review sheets at the end
• Try extra problems or questions (even if you have to make them up, or ask me to make them up)
• Review the Homework Solutions and Assess your Performance on the HW. An assessment includes strengths, areas for improvement and insights. The assessment is a point from which to move forward. The strengths should represent an honest review. The areas for improvement, should include what you will do to improve, insights are (AHA moments) something you suddenly learned.
• Use but do not rely solely on the HW Solutions to study.
• Studying is Active not Passive.
• Studying is Not Looking at Subject Matter for the First Time.
• There are no relevant cribs for this course.
