Department Description:

Inspection is the measurement of parts to ensure that they conform to specifications. Often, measurements smaller than the width of a human hair determine if a part is "good" or "bad." Inspection activities ensure that the part is a quality part that meets the needs of the customer.
These classes address the methods and instruments used to effectively inspect parts in the shop. The content is for individuals seeking to learn the fundamental approaches for inspection and the most common instruments. The content of these classes starts with instruments such as the caliper, micrometer, and CMM and eventually addresses calibration and more advanced inspection methods.
