You know that feeling you get when you see an operator constantly checking and re-checking what is probably the LEAST important feature on a part... SMH
(I tried just posting this in a metrology forum, but no one responded... are they actually working on Friday afternoon or what?!?! (As I hammer out a program, lol...)
Mechanical engineering degree programs get --MAYBE-- two sessions of book-only GD&T instruction. There is no practical lab, or application of GD&T whatsoever. I've had entire engineering departments state "they don't believe in GD&T" if it's drawn, it's possible to measure, as drawn. lol.
I don't know of a single person in our shop that can do trig...
Heck, I'm surprised some of the people here can perform simple addition!
If I need to pull out a formula to help with my programs I've got you guys and that's about it!
Here inspector, I have an issue. 3 people went to a motel and shared the cost of a room, which was 30.00 dollars. So each one paid 10.00 a piece. The guy at the desk said he overcharged them 5.00 dollars So he went back with 5, 1 dollar bills. One of the guest said well we can't divide these equally So each one would take a dollar back, and tip the man the remaining $2 dollars for his honesty. Since each person got a $1 back. That means each person paid $9 a piece. So 9 times 3 is 27, plus the $2 dollars they gave to the man, is $29, where did the other $1 go?
If you are talking about MSOE (Milwaukee school of eng.), GD&T is not required for mechanical design eng. degree.
At least it was not when I had argument with one of their professors few years back, on my visit to Grohman museum at their campus.
He claimed that is drafters job not engineers. Lets just say that my volume level was not appropriate for museum environment after this comment
