MAE 5210

Dimensional Tolerancing in Mechanical Design

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2020-2021.

Designers use dimensional tolerances to limit spatial variations in mechanical parts and assemblies; the goals are interchangeability in assembly, performance, and cost. This course covers traditional limit tolerances briefly, but focuses mainly on modern geometric tolerances and their role in assembly control. Students are not required to complete the problem and project assignments. Students will learn the main concepts, principles, and techniques of dimensional tolerancing, but will not perform any assembly or tolerance analysis and design.

When Offered Spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: MAE 2250 or equivalent CAD-based design course, plus 2.5 years of engineering mathematics through probability and statistics.

Comments MAE 5210 is a "light" version of MAE 5200.
