Why this procedure was chosen
The following points outline why this equipment can only be sourced from Instron: A key objective of the curriculum project is to expand the department's capacity to deliver excellent practical education, hands-on experience, and training to undergraduate students on a larger scale. This will reduce the number of sessions per cohort and improve access to essential resources. The purchase of this new dynamic tester is intended to complement the existing units which are all Instron. To achieve our investment objectives, all units must operate seamlessly within the teaching environment. Instructional delivery requires consistent software and interface functionality across all machines to ensure cohesive engagement during sessions.
