This hands-on course prepares students for jobs as quality inspectors and CMM operators where they will inspect, test, or measure materials, products, or work for conformance to specifications. Students will use precision measuring instruments as they apply advanced quality inspection methods, processes, and standards. Students will be required to read and prepare technical documents and will use mathematical formulas to collect data and prepare reports. They will use critical thinking skills to use logic and reason to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative approaches to problems.
