Students will actually perform a design function analysis on a part assembly provided by your company, then specify GD&T on assembly components during the workshop. |

Customer supplies an assembly drawing and a set of corresponding detail drawings (and physical parts, if possible) to ETI four weeks prior to the workshop.
Who Should
Attend
This workshop is designed for product engineers, designers, checkers, and engineering managers.
Workshop
Highlights
Students will learn how to do a design functional analysis on an assembly and use this information to assign dimensions and tolerances. They will also learn how to select datum features and how to fully define component surfaces using GD&T. Establishing tolerance values is not covered.
Small groups (8-12) are most effective in this workshop. The students will work in teams and actually create GD&T tolerance mark-ups of their company parts in the workshop.
Each workshop
participant receives:
• The System Approach to Component Tolerancing course notes
• Class handouts
• An official certificate of completion
Format: This workshop teaches the thought process involved in assigning GD&T to components. Topics covered include:

Students who attend our workshops walk away with more than knowledge. They gain on-the-job skills because our materials are performance-based, and each workshop approaches the subject from a design perspective.
