Last Friday in Engineering 1181 lab, we were tasked to make springs out of fishing line. This lab introduced us somethings that materials engineers can do to manipulate different materials to create unexpected things. We used a power drill to twist the fishing line really tightly, and then heated it up to make the newly formed coils stay. Throughout the whole process, different weights were placed on the spring to make sure it would still work as we went. I’m very proud of our little spring!
