GD&Tthrough a hands-on, design-based group project. The first project required them to design, modelin SolidWorks, and 3D print four interlocking puzzle pieces; the second project involvedstudents designing, modeling, and 3D printing a replacement bracket for a car visor. Bothprojects required precise geometric tolerance to function correctly. Analysis of tolerance and fitusing 3D printed parts allowed students to learn from the tangible results of their designs. Thisapproach was anticipated to help students’ understanding of dimension variation, and geometriccontrol in creating functional assemblies. Initial assessment was done in Spring 2024 semester.Preliminary assessment indicates that this approach will have a positive impact on
