Learning outcomes

  • Understand the relevance of dimensional measurement, including the use of dimensional and geometrical tolerances, to all stages of the engineering process.
  • Understand the use of datum systems in dimensional measurement.
  • Be able to interpret tolerance frames with and without datum references, and understand the shapes of the associated tolerance zones.
  • Be able to interpret tolerance frames for the different geometrical characteristics of form, location, orientation, and run-out.
  • Understand principles of measurement that allow the formation of a measurement strategy, including measurement uncertainty, calibration and traceability.
  • Confidently select and use a range of measuring instruments, using an understanding of how they should be prepared, used, read and stored.
  • Interpret and analyse the data output from the measurement.
  • Understand the importance of good practices associated with repeatability and reproducibility when using measuring equipment.
  • Make informed decisions as an individual and part of a team.
