DFT 201 - Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing

2 Credits
In this course, you will learn how mechanical products are controlled with tolerances to ensure that every part in a product works as it should. Geometric tolerances have shape and better match the design intent of products than traditional plus minus tolerancing. You will not only learn how to interpret geometric tolerances but how to apply them and design tolerance gauges from them. GD&T is difficult at first but makes product design so much simpler and easier when you get it!

Course Outcomes

Interpret GD&T nomenclature on mechanical drawings.
Convert a traditionally toleranced part drawing into a geometrically toleranced drawing using change orders.
Apply GD&T to a mechanical assembly based on design intent.
Design a tolerance gauge for a part based on GD&T specification.
