The Mechanical Gauging course is designed to provide a general understanding and application of many mechanical quality measuring tools.  Students learn how to use mechanical gauging tools and how to correlate their use with blueprints or actual parts.   By this method students learn to measure and evaluate conformance to specifications of your manufacturing processes.  While the course covers the most used types of gauging, the course can be geared to use gages that may be specifically represented in your industry, process, or product.
