Introduction to Physical Metrology. 1 credit, 2 contact hours

Catalog description

This course teaches the fundamental principles and instruments of physical metrology and the skills needed to perform successful inspection of basic mechanical components. Basic background information on engineering prints, dimensioning, and GD&T are presented. A portion of the instruction covers the interpretation of engineering prints while the remaining course time is dedicated to learning and practicing the skills of making physical measurements using metrology equipment and instruments. Automated metrology technologies such as vison measurement, laser measurement, structure light measurement, and CMM’s will be introduced and discussed.
