Students will learn the basic skills needed to properly use precision measuring tools, coordinate measuring machines (CMM), and interpret engineering blueprints. Additionally, students will gain skills in the application of Technical math and develop a basic understanding of the system for defining and communicating engineering tolerances through the use of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).\n\nLearning Outcome(s):\n\n1.  Read and interpret industrial blueprints.\n2.  Upon completion students will be able to properly use and care for measuring tools\n3.  Upon completion students will have the basic skills needed to use CMM, Faro Arm, and Optical Comparator to measure and inspect manufactured parts and goods"
