TDSN 125 - Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing

2 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.
