A lecture is constructed and given to students before their assemblydesign project. The lecture presents the basics of tolerancing, including the types of fits andwhen to implement them. The lecture content is reconstructed each semester for 3 semestersbased upon the students' feedback. Data is gathered through students' self-evaluation of theirlearning utilizing a questionnaire, as well as grading of their reports. After the first semester,students show signs of understanding tolerance theory concerning the types of fit

Separation of disciplines essentiallydisappears in much of modern industry.1Some of the advantages of project teams include: • Teams provide the most efficient use of workers’ skills. • Employees are able to pool knowledge and ideas to arrive at better and more creative problem solutions.2 • Teamwork based on coordinated tasks and peer leadership permits removal of layers of hierarchy.3 • Teams benefit from the combination of people with diverse

In fact, the main item on their agenda of the day was doing e-mails and chats on their computers. They would engage in these activities for hours and sometime for whole weekends.

However, nearly 40% of students never even visit their universities’ career servicesoffices [1]. Disseminating useful information on career and professional development, therefore,must occur through the individual department. And, the timing of such exposure should be suchthat the student can contextualize any career advice received; giving students advice in interviewstrategies, for example, when they are in the midst of finding internships is more effective thanadvice given pre-college, which is naturally proffered in the

This model has rarely been used to teach subjects from theapplied science, technology, and engineering fields [5]. In a recent study of fifty-eight peer-reviewed research studies on flipped learning in the higher education STEM disciplines, resultsindicate that only about 6% of these studies were conducted in the applied science, technology,and engineering domains [5].
