Furthermore, the reported educational outcomes wereexamined, particularly concerning improvements in student engagement, problem-solving skills, anddesign competencies. Challenges faced during the implementation of digital twins, includinginfrastructure requirements, high costs, and faculty training needs, were also identified to provide abalanced perspective on the feasibility and effectiveness of these technologies in educational contexts.The extracted data was synthesized into thematic categories to address the research questions.

effects of maximum materialcondition or least material condition in GD&T; Fuehne [7] simulated industrial environmentwhen maintaining the metrology laboratory at 20 ± 0.5 °C and < 50% humidity. The instructorrequested students to build solid models using a CAD software, 3D-print the parts, and thencomplete with GD&T measurement before writing an inspection report. Hewerdine et al. [8]combined a visual method and hands-on activities to teach GD&T. By printing a defectivecomponent for inspection in different ways, the effect of datum selections can be seen whenmapping measured data points on to the model. Although 3D-printed components had been usedby many educators to teach GD&T concepts, the applying of GD&T to parts

Session Number Using an Assessment Test to Identify Important Aspects of Education Paul M. Santi, Ryan J. Kowalski Department of Geology and Geological Engineering, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO 80401Introduction Quite often, in addition to teaching technical skills, we must teach some abstract andintangible skills. In the field of geological engineering, one of these skills is the ability to usegeologic information to design optimal subsurface investigations of sites for foundations,chemical contamination, or geologic hazards. In order to teach this skill, a computer
