Concurrent Engineering
The purpose of this course is to practice the techniques of concurrent engineering, and to improve and promote a unique type of communication between departments during the initial and all succeeding stages of a product introduction. This course will demonstrate how functional departments can reduce time and money spent in scrap and rework by uncovering and resolving potential product problems before they occur.

Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFM/DFA)
DFMA is the classic method of creating good product designs that reduce part count, simplify manufacturing techniques, and standardize parts and materials with the ultimate goal of developing a quality product at the lowest cost while saving time. The primary advantage of the design for assembly (DFA) methodology is that it ensures a good design early in the design process before much effort and cost has been expended in pursuing an ineffective design.

GD&T for DFM
This course will show how a product's functional requirements are converted into designs that have the highest level of functionality, manufacturability, and assembly, but at the lowest cost. This will be accomplished by integrating many different support tools, the most important of which is geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).

GD&T
This course provides the basis for defining and applying the industry-accepted design/engineering language. Implementation of GD&T will improve communication among designers, manufacturing engineers, and quality control inspectors, resulting in accurate use and interpretation of engineering part drawings. Through examination of the ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard, group exercises, and group discussion, participants will develop the ability to relate drawing requirements to actual part function and inspect parts defined by GD&T.

GD&T Overview
Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is a three-dimensional international engineering language used by design, production, and engineering staff. Proper interpretation and application of the language may mean the difference between quality products with excellent cycle time or defective products and extended time to market. This course will provide an overview on the general concepts of GD&T, the benefits of its use, and the cost of implementation.

Measurement Inspection and Gaging Level 1
Measurement, Inspection, and Gaging Level 1 provides fundamental lessons in proper interpretation of engineering drawings used in inspection of parts which have geometric controls applied per ANSI Y14.5. This course presents methods for developing and improving inspection skills. Through review of technical reports, examination of standards and evaluation, recommendation and incorporation of measurement equipment manufacturers practices, participants will learn how to optimize inspection equipment and reduce inappropriate measurement procedures.

Measurement Inspection and Gaging Level 2
This course provides advanced lessons in proper interpretation of engineering part drawings used in inspection of parts which have geometric controls applied per ANSI Y14.5M-1994. Participants will learn and practice advanced measurement procedures with measuring devices such as coordinate measurement machines, digital micro-meters, telescoping gages, 1-2-3 blocks, vernier calipers, optical comparators and much more. This course teaches proper techniques in accurate correct data and applying that data to inspect geometric controls.

Precision Machine Design
A precision machine is an integrated system that relies on the attributes of one component to augment the weakness of another component. In this course, emphasis is placed on the design of mechanical and structural precision machine components and their integration with sensor and control systems to maximize performance. In the discussion of the design of components and assemblies, emphasis is placed on how the design will affect overall accuracy, repeatability, and resolution of the machine.
