MET 162 Mechanical Drawing Interpretation

Credits: (3)
This course focuses on the interpretation of technical drawings.  Being able to locate all dimensions, feature locations, and tolerances on a drawing is critical for a machinist to manufacture the part.  Students will learn about the common drawing types found in the real world and how to interpret information given in those drawings. In addition, Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) will be introduced.

Learning Outcomes
  1. Identify all dimensions and tolerances for each feature in a technical drawing.
  2. Interpret common symbols found in a technical drawing.
  3. Analyze technical drawings that utilize Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing.
  4. Identify key features in different types of technical drawings.
