This course provides fundamental and advanced GD&T education based on the ASME Y14.5-2009 standard (as well as key changes in the 2018 revision).  Whether you're in design, manufacturing or quality, this course will provide essential concepts critical for properly communicating through the use of engineering drawings.

​

The course is led by a skilled instructor in the form of lecture alongside graphical illustrations and physical model sets to help convey concepts in a clear manner.  There are also student exercises to help the concepts sink in. Students will be able to engage with the instructor during and after each remote session.  Each student will receive a 375-page full-color graphical textbook (GeoTol Pro©) for use during the course and for a helpful reference in the future.
