CATALOG DESCRIPTION (Include specific prerequisites):
Prerequisite: CAD 110. Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing focuses on applying
geometric dimensioning and tolerancing principles in product design. Topics include the
standard definitions, print designation, datum reference frame, and tolerances of location,
form, profile, orientation and runout. Advanced concepts include a study of bonus
tolerances, virtual conditions and datum references.
TEXTBOOKS:
Madsen, D. A. (2010) Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing: Based on ASME Y14.52009 (8th Ed.). Tinley Park, IL: Goodheart-Willcox Company, Inc.
Or a comparable text that addresses at a minimum the topics listed in the Course/Lab Outline
and that provides students with the opportunity to achieve the Learning Outcomes for this
course.
RELATIONSHIP TO ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND
TRANSFERABILITY:
CAD 224 was designed to meet the specific needs of an Associate of Applied Science

METHOD OF EVALUATION (Tests/Exams, Grading System):
Course evaluations may be based on written work (5-20%), lab assignments/final project (6075%), and quizzes/tests (20-35%). Heavier evaluation emphasis will be placed on activities
requiring hands-on use of software/equipment. More specific methods of evaluation will vary
by instructor.
Course grades will be determined by the use of the following grading scale:
A
90-100%
B
80-89%
C
70-79%
D
60-69%
F
Below 60%
REQUIRED WRITING AND READING:
There will be assigned readings throughout this course. There will be at least one writing
assignment to be completed in this course.
