Description

GeoTol Pro GD&T Fundamentals Online Course Details

This introduction to geometric dimensioning and tolerancing course provides knowledge of the basics as well as more advanced concepts. It is delivered per the ASME Y14.5-2009 dimensioning and tolerancing standard and consists of 17 interactive units. This program has been presented and refined over the past 30 years and covers what personnel need to know in order to work in an engineering, manufacturing and quality environment on a daily basis. The program is designed to build knowledge in steps, keeping the students engaged all the way through. This program is great for people new to the subject, those looking for a refresher course, or people who are interested in the more advanced and specialized concepts of geometric tolerancing.

The GD&T introduction units start with a series of video clips of both Al Neumann and Scott Neumann teaching the lesson.  Al and Scott trade off, sportscaster style, teaching the subject by talking about the engineering drawings, showing computer animations and using wood and plastic models to demonstrate inspection techniques. In between the video clips, the students are asked interactive questions on screen. The questions range from multiple choice, drag and drop, or hot spot buttons. After the questions, Al and Scott then provide the answers before continuing to the next topic. The student’s grades are tracked and reported at the end of each unit.

The students may follow along with the lessons in their GeoTol Pro workbook with pages that match the slides on screen. The 1 year access also allows the students to go back and review both the video clips and questions to reinforce the concepts as needed. See the GD&T introduction program outline for the topics covered.
