Program Description
The blueprint reading training program discusses the basic elements of a blueprint and reviews the associated shop math skills. It introduces the concepts which students must master to successfully interpret engineering drawings used in an industrial environment. A Pre-Test can be given, if desired, but no prior knowledge of blueprint reading is assumed. The course covers a basic review of shop mathematics, the fundamental rules of blueprints, the different views, dimensions, tolerances and use of measuring tools such as rulers and protractors. An introduction to some fundamental Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing concepts are also presented. A textbook and calculator are required for the course.
