TDSN 125 - Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing2 Credit (0.5 lecture, 1.75 lab) 2.25 Contact Hours [TDSN 105 ] This technical course is structured around a workbook approach to learning. The principles of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing are applied to reading blueprints and engineering drawings. The most current industrial standards are referenced (ANSI/ ASME Y14.5M-1994). Topics of study include the following geometric tolerances: form, profile, location, orientation, and runout. The specific tolerances covered are concentricity, circularity, straightness, parallelism, flatness, cylindricity, position, perpendicularity, angularity, circular runout, total runout, profile of a surface, profile of a line, and symmetry. Other areas of study are datums, datum targets, the interpretation of fits, limits and tolerances, and tolerancing for the location of features. OFFERED: spring semesters
Course Goals; Objectives; Competencies Goal 1: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: understand the basic concepts of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
Goal 2: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: apply geometric tolerance terms.
Goal 3: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: understand and interpret feature control frame information.
Goal 4: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: interpret traditionally dimensioned drawings and recognize where to apply GD&T concepts.
Goal 5: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: apply GD&T knowledge by correctly reading prints that contain GD&T information.
Goal 6: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: analyze prints containing GD&T to identify the reasoning behind the GD&T application.
Goal 7: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: determine the value of incorporating GD&T concepts with traditional dimensioning practices.
