Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is an important design tool that has gained worldwide acceptance for its ability to accurately control tolerances while allowing maximum manufacturing flexibility to control costs. Many mechanical engineering departments capitalize on external review boards composed of engineers from relevant industries to provide advice and help guide their programs. At the University of Colorado, for example, our Industrial Advisory Committee (IAC) meets semiannually. At a recent IAC meeting, the importance of including GD&T in the ME curriculum was reiterated.
