Details about this class

The textbook/workbook is

A Practical Guide to Geometric Tolerancing per ASME Y14.5-2009 by Scott Neumann and Al Neumann ISBN 0872638650

It can be purchased either through the bookstore, or directly from the publisher at https://geotol.com/product/geotol-pro-fundamentals-workbook/   (time limited access to a e-book version is also available at a slightly reduced cost)

There are a set of videos available on D2L that follow and explain the text with a number of visual examples.  The best way to proceed through the course is to follow in the text while watching the videos.  Pause the video and do the exercises.  Answers to the exercises are then given in the video.

There is one optional lab session that is done in the Sylvania shop, but the rest of the class can be remote.  We only have one set of lab equipment, so you will need to schedule your individual lab time.  I am normally in the shop twice a week for in person consultation, my schedule will be posted in D2L when it is determined

Technology

For the lab, access to a laptop with Excel or similar spreadsheet is handy but NOT required.

No show policy

Your instructor can mark you as a "no show" if you do not participate in your class during the first week. This will remove you from the class.
