andTolerancing (GD&T) in design and manufacturing helps to minimize the above issues byimproving manufacturing output, productivity, cross-departmental communication, partassembly, part interchangeability while reducing cost and shortening schedule time [1],[2].Although industry have been implementing GD&T for decades, lack of comprehensiveeducations in undergraduate engineering/technology curricula make the transition of graduatedengineers to industry a difficult period. It was suggested that GD&T should be taught for 60hours during two quarters or during one whole semester [3]. Literature survey indicates only fewinstitutions in the USA have engaged students with GD&T activities in undergraduate programswhile some programs even
doesn’t usually match the mental models that undergraduate searchers areaccustomed to when using Google. In human cognition, mental models are important schemas of the world that people use toreason, solve problems, and make inferences across situations [1]. When students apply theirmental models of Google-like search expectations to single search bars on library websites orscientific databases, they are often met with confusing, unexpected, or incorrect results. Thepurpose of this exploratory study is to evaluate undergraduate College of Engineering andCollege of Sciences and Arts students’ real-world search strategies during a library instructionsession at Michigan Technological University (MTU).
