## Notice

This tender is for teaching equipment for Structural Mechanics experiments, which is primarily intended for use with first year engineering undergraduate degree students. The equipment should be readily portable, suitable for use in normal classrooms and hence not reliant on a dedicated laboratory environment. It is intended to be used 'hands on' by the students in pairs and not in a 'demonstration' format.
