andTolerancing (GD&T) in design and manufacturing helps to minimize the above issues byimproving manufacturing output, productivity, cross-departmental communication, partassembly, part interchangeability while reducing cost and shortening schedule time [1],[2].Although industry have been implementing GD&T for decades, lack of comprehensiveeducations in undergraduate engineering/technology curricula make the transition of graduatedengineers to industry a difficult period. It was suggested that GD&T should be taught for 60hours during two quarters or during one whole semester [3]. Literature survey indicates only fewinstitutions in the USA have engaged students with GD&T activities in undergraduate programswhile some programs even
