Textbook: Hammer’s Blueprint Reading Basics, 4th ed., by Charles Gillis, Industrial Press
Workbook: Engineering Drawings Primer Workbook, by Charles Gillis
Intended for the professional or manager seeking an awareness of dimensioning and tolerancing who does not need to further their knowledge with a more in-depth course. Designed to provide you with an understanding of GD&T fundamentals, this course focuses on the basic requirements of engineering drawings, numeric dimensions and tolerances, and geometric dimensions and tolerances.
This course is designed for engineering managers and supervisors, mechanical engineering technicians, manufacturing engineering technicians, quality assurance technicians, and supplier quality engineers.
Through training, participants will learn the following:
The Basics of Manufacturing Prints
What manufacturing prints are and why they are used
Who uses them and how
The manufacturing cycle and purpose of prints
The basic requirements of technical drawings
Prints are interpreted according to standards and represent contractual requirements
Dimensions
What dimensions are and why they are important
Fundamental dimensioning and tolerancing rules
Symbols associated with dimensions
Linear, diametral, radial, and angular dimensions
Dimensioning of common features
Numeric Tolerances
What tolerances are and why they are important
The ways numeric tolerances are indicated on prints
Determining tolerance values for numeric tolerances given implicitly, explicitly, symbolically, and by limit dimensioning
Calculating tolerance accumulations
Geometric Tolerance Fundamentals
How geometric tolerances work
Thinking of parts as collections of features not dimensions
Features with size and surfaces
Maximum Material Condition and Least Material Condition
What bonus tolerance is and when it applies
The Datum Reference Frame Concept
The purpose of a datum reference frame
Establishing datums from various datum features
What datum shift is and when it applies
Interpretation of Geometric Controls
The geometric characteristic symbols used to impose geometric requirements
This course will help you develop technical drawing interpretation, dimensioning and tolerancing, blueprint reading, GD&T fundamentals, and manufacturing specifications understanding skills, enabling you to accurately read and apply engineering drawings in design, manufacturing, and quality control.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

All the participants in your training were also very impressed with you and your training. They each mentioned to the management team how this was the best training they have received and how your energy and enthusiasm kept them excited and motivated. We really appreciate all you and the team have done for us. We will be in touch soon to review and discuss future trainings.
Paul was definitely very knowledgeable, shared much of his experiences and was very personable. He was able to take a topic that could be very dry and made it interesting. The overall thoughts were that both classes were valuable – especially to those with only several years in the industry.
Hi Barbara and Angelo,
Thank you for the Holiday cheers! We look forward to working with QSG in 2018. We’ve accomplished a lot together as partners and our Training Program has been a great success thanks to you and QSG. Autoliv’s employees are very grateful to QSG for the opportunities to learn new skills and Autoliv appreciates our employees using these new skills to continually improve our Organization.
Hi Angelo,
The training workshops have been very well received and we are very happy with all that have been completed. The upcoming 5S training is full and we already have others interested so we will be looking to add a class. I am also pushing for additional training with all the training events in all areas of our business.
Thanks for letting us know!
