To further enhance the communication between tutors and course instructors as well as to better familiarize the tutors with the students and class activities, the tutors would be required to attend 2 to 3 classes per week (maximum 3 hours/week) for the course(s) they tutor. The attendance in these classes would be considered as part of their tutoring load. Identify at least 5 qualified students for tutoring/mentoring task. These students have performed at least at a level of B or better in the gate keeping courses, have junior/senior standing, and have a GPA of at

examining students’understanding of a datum reference frame (DRF) specified on a drawing and their ability tomodel a 3D part with a consistent DRF origin. It was clear that students in TEC333 had difficultyrecognizing the DRF when given a drawing with GD&T. This was especially true when holeswere used as datum features. Since one of the main tenants of GD&T is to provide consistencythrough design, manufacturing, and inspection, conducting a closer examination of design intentwithin the drawing, constraint-based model, and the inspection method could provide useful datafor improving instruction.References1.

The Tech Startup process begins with the onset of the semester, when instructors presenta general overview of semester-long projects and charge students to brainstorm project ideas forsoftware to develop. With the popularity of social media, web services, and prevalence ofsmartphones, most projects proposed involve web and/or mobile applications. In the followinglecture, the project proposals are shared among all students and each student expresses whichproject(s) to which they wish to contribute. Based on their preferences, we form teams of about 5software engineering students with 1-2 entrepreneurship students. Students are expected toarrange times outside of class to meet regularly to work
