Digital Instructor's Kit: Advanced Concepts of GD&T
Based on ASME Y14.5M - 1994

The Advanced Concepts Digital Instructor's Kit contains everything needed to teach a GD&T advanced concepts course on one self-running CD-ROM. The software saves hundreds of hours of course preparation time, and is a cost-effective and convenient alternative to developing training programs from scratch.

The Advanced Concepts of GD&T Digital Instructor's Kit contains over 450 digital slides that are cross-referenced with our Advanced Concepts of GD&T textbook. The lesson screens contain detailed drawings and graphics that illustrate concepts and help students understand GD&T's application on the job. This course is based on ASME Y14.5M-1994 and covers GD&T topics in a manner that relates closely to how it is used in industry. The examples are more complex and include explanations of tolerancing concepts that are often problematic in the workplace. The course explains concepts that are not explicitly documented in Y14.5, but are needed and used in industry.

The special teaching aids include:

• Slides that let you digitally highlight and write notes during lecture —
• Keyboard or mouse navigation that takes you directly to any slide
• The ability to reveal one teaching point at a time

The package includes:

• 450 digital lesson slides
• One Advanced Concepts of GD&T textbook
• Course agendas
• Answers to textbook exercises
  
• Quizzes and answers
  
• A final exam

Excellent material! Well organized with thorough explanations. Fully integrated with the instructional material. Well received by all the classes I've taught. — Gerry C., Schoolcraft Community College, Livonia, MI
