Special Topics: Introduction to Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing

Catalog description

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD and amp;T) encompasses a language and system of rules used to precisely and unambiguously communicate the intended geometry and allowable variation of manufactured objects. This tolerance informs the design, process selection, tooling, and inspection of a part. This course will introduce students to this system of communication and its applications. Topics will include interpreting GD and amp;T on engineering drawings, implementing it in Solidworks, and performing tolerance analyses.
