Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is a means of specifying engineering design and drawing requirements with respect to actual functions and relationships of part features. Based on the authoritative document governing the use of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing in the United States - ANSI Yl4.5M-l994 Standard - reaffirmed in 1999 - WPI's practical programs will keep you up-to-date and help you remain competitive in today's global economy. With the growing demand for more specifically and economically stated engineering design requirements, today's manufacturing professionals must thoroughly understand this universal engineering language.

WPI's Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing courses are especially valuable when presented on-site. We work with your staff to customize programs that meet your company's needs using your drawings and parts during workshops.
