Digital Instructor's Kit: Tolerance Stacks GD&T
Concept Driven

The Digital Instructor's Kit: Tolerance Stacks contains everything needed to teach a course about tolerance stacks on one self-running CD-ROM. The software saves hundreds of hours of course preparation time, and is a cost-effective and convenient alternative to developing training programs from scratch.

Individuals and organizations who teach tolerance stacks need the Tolerance Stacks Digital Instructor's Kit. The disc contains over 450 digital slides that are cross-referenced with our Tolerance Stacks textbook. The lesson screens contain detailed drawings and graphics that illustrate concepts and help students understand how to apply stacks on the job. The course will show you how to calculate tolerance stacks, a crucial skill in today’s competitive workplace.

The special teaching aids include:

• Slides that let you digitally highlight and write notes during lecture —
• Keyboard or mouse navigation that takes you directly to any slide
• The ability to reveal one teaching point at a time

The package includes:

• 450 digital lesson slides
• One Tolerance Stacks textbook
• Course agendas
• Answers to textbook exercises
• Quizzes and answers
  

The successful results that the Tolerance Stacks course have produced are evident in our declining number of Change Orders being written to correct errors in our designs.— Ed Faust, Senior Designer, Ohmeda Medical

Program Topics
The course teaches how to use tolerance stacks to establish part tolerances, analyze design, create process designs, use geometric tolerances in stacks, and much much more.


Topics include:
