A Self-administered Gage Analysis Intervention and Assessment

A solo gage repeatability and reproducibility (gage r and r) study exercise was developed and individually administered to a population of Engineering Technology students. This paper includes the intervention procedure that was developed to self-guide a student through the performance and interpretation of a gage r and r. This paper also presents the assessment used to determine the effectiveness of the exercise. Students’ comments regarding difficulties pertaining to the performance of the exercise are presented. The gage intervention was moderately successful as judged by the assessment tool.
