Despite its massiveimpact, the industry has been criticized for poor productivity compared with other industries andalso billions of dollars in annual waste due to the lack of interoperability (Gallaher et al., 2004).Furthermore, the industry has been approaching a “labor cliff,” meaning there are not enoughnew individuals entering the industry to offset the vacancies left by an aging, retiring workforce(Sulak Brown, Goodrum, Taylor, 2015).

Tolerancing(GD&T) into engineering drawings in a Senior Design reduces the number of design iterations,increases design quality, and enables both the handoff to manufacturing and easier manufacturing.This demonstration is accomplished by a Senior design group manufacturing an Alpha styleStirling Engine out of 6061 Al using a manual lathe and mill and using GD&T. We will comparethis engine to another Stirling Engine built by a Senior design group in 2015 that was based on thecoordinate dimensioned design by Senft [1]. We compare the time it takes to manufacture bothdesigns, as well as the design quality once they are fully manufactured.The implementation of GD&T is not commonly taught in undergraduate mechanical engineering(ME) curriculums

. Figure 1 shows the demographics of selected independent school districts (ISD) inTexas. The ISDs of Bryan, Navasota, Brenham, and Pharr-San Juan-Alamo (PSJA) have abouttwo times more African American or Hispanic students than the average ISD in Texas. Thenumber of students from low-income families is also 20-50% more than the state average. Thedropout rates at Bryan and Aldine ISDs are also particularly alarming (Figures 1-2).School programs with hands-on and manufacturing focuses – as compared to academicmathematics or pure science-- would be attractive to students since they can relate the training toeveryday examples, potential employment, and even advanced careers.

Given their diversebackgrounds, their increasing numbers, and the growing national demand for engineeringprofessionals, it is important to study the conditions under which student veterans pursueengineering education and the factors that support their success.

engineering courses involve problem solving, and solving problems requires thedevelopment of several types of knowledge and skills. From course to course, the kinds ofproblems that are solved and the specific knowledge and skills required can be very different.But across a wide range of courses we can define categories of knowledge and skills that arerequired for solving most problems. By referring to these categories while teaching, studying andpracticing, we can develop a framework for learning. This framework provides a location and astructure for storing important knowledge, making it easier to recall.Let’s call these learning categories the Seven C’s. 1. Concepts are the fundamental ideas, laws, principles, theories, hypotheses and models

The National Science Foundation defines postdoctraining as “a temporary and defined period of mentored advanced training to enhance theprofessional skills and research independence” [3]. According to the National ScienceFoundation Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED), between 1985 and 2013, around 22% ofengineering PhDs indicated postdocs as their plan upon obtaining the degree.

Without routine maintenance, the road gritaccumulates in the bottom of the drain and quickly gets root bound by the noxious weeds andother vegetation. Once this happens, it becomes very labor intensive to clean and reestablishflow. Currently, trench drains are cleaned manually or using a sewer cleaning truck. Both themanual process and the current procedure of using a sewer cleaning truck are not safe as theyboth require highway technicians to walk along the drain during cleaning and thus expose themto heavy traffic.
