BMED 2600 - Fundamentals of Dimensional Metrology
Credits: 2
Catalog Description
All things manufactured need to be measured. Metrology is the science of measurement and is used to determine if a part meets its required form, fit or function. This course is designed to train students on metrology equipment used in industry to measure the physical size or distance from any given object. Both English (inch) and Metric (cm) systems of measurement will be used in measuring practices. Completing this course will enhance the learner’s ability to gain employment in a manufacturing/machining/medical facility area and/or increase their chances of advancement in quality assurance related roles.
Additional fee to student: No
