Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD & T) is a symbolic language used on engineering drawings to specify features of a part, including the size, shape, form, and orientation. By implementing GD & T, manufacturers can more clearly and precisely define part requirements, improve inspection, gain business flexibility in today’s global economy, and save money.

In this introductory course, participants will gain an awareness of GD & T and the fundamental language of GD & T, interpret basic GD & T drawings, and perform hands-on exercises to practice what they have learned.
