1.4 Learning Outcome
This course intends to enhance the capability to explore experimental techniques related to nanome-
chanics. Itd also help to understand the mechanical response of a nanomaterial under mechanical
loading.

2 Justification
The ongoing research is based on theoretical and numerical computation. Understanding on mi-
croscale experimental techniques would enrich the knowledge of in situ experiments and are not
directly contributing to the thesis.
