SKDR 128 - Geometric Tolerancing

Credits: 2
Instructional Contact Hours: 3

Explains the principles and methods of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing using the current ASME/ANSI 14.5 standard.  Introduces the science of precision measurement, focusing on accuracy and application as well as problem solving as it relates to dimensional metrology. Includes topics of measurement processes and feasibility, industry standards, and operation of measurement equipment including the Coordinate Measuring Machine. Credit may be earned in either DRF 128 or SKDR 128  but not both.

Prerequisite(s): DRF 121  or SKDR 101  or permission of instructor
Lecture Hours: 30 Lab Hours: 15
Meets MTA Requirement: None
Pass/NoCredit: No
