Metrology

Metrology exposes the student to the principles of dimensional metrology. Students will learn how to use common measuring instruments relating to state-of-the-art manufacturing environments. Students will also learn the importance of Quality Control, TQM, and SPC processes as they relate to manufacturing environments. Use of a coordinate measuring machine will be delivered.

1. Demonstrate hands on use of geometric dimensioning & tolerancing metrology methods.
2. Use common measuring tools found in manufacturing.
3. Operate a coordinate-measuring machine.
4. Perform calibration activities on various measuring instruments.
5. Collect and record data for SPC documentation.
6. Verify accuracy of machined parts.
7. List ISO standards and requirements.
8. Interpret and report measurement data on databases.
9. Describe other quality standards required in manufacturing.
