Introduction:
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a symbolic language used on engineering drawings and computer generated 3D solid models for explicitly describing nominal geometry and its allowable variation. This course is based on ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard. Application of GD&T will ensure that the allowable part and assembly geometry defined on the drawing leads to parts that have the desired form and fit (within limits) and function as intended.

Participant Profile:
Engineering students, product and gage designers; process, product and manufacturing engineers; quality engineers, CMM operators, checkers, technicians, etc. are encouraged to apply. Participants should have completed a course in Engineering Drawing Requirements or use drawings regularly on the job.
Instructor Profile:
Instructors with experience in analysing designs with respect to geometric dimensioning and tolerancing using ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard will be conducting this course.
Methodology:
Lectures, Discussions, Practice Problems, Case-Studies and hands-on practice on modern computers will take place.
Learning Outcome:
Participants will learn the benefits of GD&T and will be able to interpret GD&T on drawings.
