AVC WILL OFFER LABS ON MATERIALS CLASSES TARGET AEROSPACE.Byline: Daily News LANCASTER - Engineering students at Antelope Valley College Antelope Valley College is a comprehensive community college located in Lancaster, California, USA. It is operated by the Antelope Valley Community College District, with a primary service area of 1,945 square miles covering portions of Los Angeles and Kern counties. will be able to utilize a new laboratory next year for materials strength testing strength testing, n assessment procedure to determine the contractile strength of a muscle. . The lab, in a new technology building on campus, is a much-needed component in the effort by Antelope Valley College and several universities to provide engineering education locally to facilitate the development of home-grown engineers for the aerospace industry and government. The technology building, which will open in August, will house several laboratories, including the one to serve the college's associate degree program in engineering. Students will be able to use a variety of machines designed to test the strength of materials strength of materials, measurement in engineering of the capacity of metal, wood, concrete, and other materials to withstand stress and strain. Stress is the internal force exerted by one part of an elastic body upon the adjoining part, and strain is the deformation under various conditions such as tension, compression, heat and chemical exposure. ``Strength of Materials,'' Engineering 220, will first be offered in the new lab in the spring 2004 semester se·mes·ter n.
