"Students can take the course online at home, at school, or at work through a series of interactive lessons," said Krulikowski, noted educator and author of GD&T training books and software. "Users receive a ‘hands-on’ approach to learning with animations that show exactly how a symbol is interpreted. Students can visualize and understand concepts more readily while they learn at their own pace. The online training course is a convenient and affordable GD&T training option.”

ETI also offers an online training course on the GM Global Dimensioning and Tolerancing Addendum used in the auto industry. It provides an in-depth look at the major areas of impact the addendum has on drawings that use ASME Y14.5M-1994 and explains the differences between the GM, Ford, and Chrysler GD&T addendums.

The Fundamentals of GD&T online training course will be available online to individuals, educational institutions, and organizations in the second quarter of 2005. ETI provides student support for all of their online training through a discussion board and a variety of other resources.
