Fundamentals of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, Part I

About the presentation This ~45-60 minute presentation provides a a contextual and technical introduction to the fundamentals of the geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) system used in formal engineering drawings. This particular presentation is an adaptation of a longer lesson developed for an undergraduate mechanical engineering course, compressed for presentation in a shorter format. About the author Jaime Berez is a mechanical engineer with interests in manufacturing and metrology. At the time of publishing this document, he is a Ph.D. Candidate in mechanical engineering. Jaime is actively engaged in developing educational materials on GD&T for a variety of uses, including content targeted at the undergraduate engineering curricula. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaime-berez-074788a3/J.
