This course is designed to provide students an understanding of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) principles and coordinate measurement systems using digital inspection tools and software. The course will cover the basic concepts of GD&T, including geometric tolerances, datums, size tolerances, positional tolerances, profile tolerances, orientation tolerances, and form tolerances. Students will learn how to interpret GD&T symbols and specifications on engineering drawings and apply GD&T concepts. The course will also cover computer-aided inspection and metrology techniques and how to apply them to verify and validate parts’ GD&T features. By the end of the course, students will have a working knowledge of GD&T principles, coordinate measurement systems and how to apply them effectively in engineering and manufacturing settings.
