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:

Keyboard or mouse navigation that takes you directly to any slide
The ability to reveal one teaching point at a time
