This paperexplains the decline in military Metrology training, the attempt to integrate the needed traininginto colleges and Universities, and Sypris Test & Measurement Inc.’s (ST&M) partnershipefforts with Central Georgia Technical College and University of Central Florida to meet itsIndustrial Metrology needs.Introduction“Metrology” is the Science of Measurement. It is a small field that is obscure from mainstreamScience and Engineering but shares the same principles and theories taught at any institution ofhigher learning. The function of this small group touches almost every action we do and everytransaction we make in our day to day existence. Two such examples of this that are easilyrelated to are
the product’s behavior during testing cannot shapeiterative design efforts if they go unnoticed. What students learn as they iteratively plan, buildand test their designs depends in part on whether their attention is focused or diffused. Helpingteachers to get students to notice critical and problematic features in their designs is a challengethat may be helped with the simple application of the 4-item diagnostic reasoning protocol usedin this study, though the efficacy of such actions will require future testing in laboratory andclassroom settings.

knowledge into the domain of healthsystems.A careful review of the current ISE curriculum reveals the following facts: (i) ISE knowledge isbuilt in large on manufacturing systems, (ii) the majority of examples in textbooks are based onmanufacturing systems, (iii) very few universities have health systems concentration in their ISEprograms, and (iv) there is no good textbook(s) generalizing ISE tools in health systems. Whilemany researchers and practitioners have been successfully applying ISE tools to modeling andoptimizing health systems, there is a gap between the healthcare industry needs and academiccourse settings. For examples, although lean and six-sigma have been widely adopted andimplemented in the healthcare settings to reduce wastes and
