Contains new features! ETI's Fundamentals of GD&T Digital Instructor's Kit has been updated to include animated application and inspection examples.

This digital version of the GD&T Fundamentals Instructor’s Kit is a start-to-finish performance-based training package for GD&T at a cost of nearly 50% less than traditional kits. It includes 360 full-color projectable slides, as well as printable course agendas, lesson plans, handouts, quizzes, tests, and answers—all in one handy CD-ROM and accessible with the click of a mouse. No more searching through slides during lecture or reorganizing them after class: these materials are always right where you need them, when you need them.

The Digital Instructor’s Kit utilizes today’s technology. The Windows-based program is designed for use with a computer and a multi-media projector. It’s portable and simple to use. Students receive step-by-step instruction in GD&T fundamentals, as well as the opportunity to review and practice what they’ve learned. They’ll receive detailed explanations of concepts, GD&T symbols and definitions, practice exercises, and they’ll learn to apply GD&T to industry-standard drawings.

The course is based on ASME Y14.5M-1994 and cross-referenced with The Fundamentals of GD&T, 2nd Edition textbook by Alex Krulikowski. The digital slides match the illustrations in the textbook so students can easily follow the lecture. It includes 3-, 8- and 10-session agendas, so you can select the one that fits your schedule.
