Course Description:
This course provides the foundation for both mechanical and electronic measurement techniques encountered in the advanced manufacturing environment. The course will integrate the conceptual measurements with the various mechanical and electronic measuring instruments and their usage. Hand tools, power tools, inspection equipment, measurements, mechanical drives, and rigging will be covered on the mechanical side. The electrical side will cover industrial electrical wiring and instrumentation, including digital sensors, optical and magnetic switches, pressure, temperature, and piezoelectric sensors. This course is one of six courses required for national MSSC-CPT certification.
