The Digital Instructor’s Kit utilizes today’s technology.
The Windows-based program is designed for use with a computer
and a multi-media projector. It’s portable and simple to
use. Students receive step-by-step instruction in GD&T fundamentals,
as well as the opportunity to review and practice what they’ve
learned. They’ll receive detailed explanations of concepts,
GD&T symbols and definitions, practice exercises, and they’ll
learn to apply GD&T to industry-standard drawings.
The Fundamentals of GD&T Instructor's Kit is a start-to-finish, performance-based training package that saves hours of course preparation time. The course was developed by GD&T expert Alex Krulikowski and is cross-referenced with his textbook, The Fundamentals of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing, Using Critical Thinking Skills. The program is designed for use with a computer and a multi-media projector and allows keyboard or mouse navigation.
Based on ASME Y14.5-2009, the course covers the terms, symbols, rules, and concepts of GD&T. It includes an indepth explanation of geometric symbols, including each symbols requirements, tolerance zones, and limitations. It's the most thorough and comprehensive training on the market.
The Fundamentals of GD&T Digital Instructor’s Kit contains more than 1000 full-color digital slides that aid in teaching geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.
The
special teaching aids include:
- Animated
drawings to aid in explaining concepts
- Lesson screens that reveal information one point at atime
- Industrial drawings
- Critical thinking discussion questions
- A personal training guide
- Keyboard
or mouse navigation

Topics
Students receive
step-by-step instruction in GD&T fundamentals with detailed
explanations of each topic, GD&T symbols and definitions, and
practice exercises. They also learn to apply GD&T to industry-standard
drawings. Topics include:
Each of the digital kit's 27 lessons focuses on a major topic that must be mastered to be fluent in the fundamentals of geometric tolerancing. Each goal is defined and supported by a set of performance objectives. There are more than 260 performance objectives that describe specific, observable, measurable actions that the student must accomplish to demonstrate mastery of each goal and are a key to success for both the student and the instructor.
Material that builds and develops critical thinking skills is contained within each topic. Questions that utilize those skills are at the end of each chapter of the companion textbook.

Product highlights:
The Fundamentals of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Using Critical Thinking Skills Digital Instructor's Kit includes several new and improved features:
- Technical content updated to reflect the latest information from ASME Y14.5- 2009
- Information is divided into smaller topics; each chapter is based on a single goal
- Several new lessons: Drawing Standards; Dimensions, Tolerances, and Notes; and General Dimensioning Symbols
- Critical thinking questions added to build higher order thinking skills
- New terms listed at the front of each lesson
- Organization of the lessons covering the GD&T symbols is divided into three sections: terms and concepts, applications, and verification principles
- Reorganized the lesson exercises into three types: true/false, multiple choice, and application problems
- The use of mnemonics to aid in the memory of concepts
- Real-world examples for each geometric tolerance
- Lesson summaries
- Expanded coverage on the verification principles and methods for each geometric tolerance
- The use of the surface interpretation for all tolerances applied at MMC
- The use of line conventions to make the illustrations easier to interpret
- The use of color to highlight tolerance zones, boundaries, datums, parts, and gages in the figures
- The use of a 3D model coordinate system to denote the degrees of freedom constrained
- The use of the "Significant Seven Questions" for interpreting a geometric tolerance
Format: The Fundamentals of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Using Critical Thinking Skills digital instructor's kit has been completely updated to reflect the changes in the ASME Y14.5-2009 Standard. The goals and performance objectives of each lesson are clearly described to keep students focused on the material. Exercises from the textbook should be used at the end of each lesson to reinforce the material. Textbook answers are provided in the digital kit.
