Excellent GD&T education

This text/workbook provides excellent training on the basics of GD&T. The book is easy to read and uses extensive examples. The content makes the ASME standard understandable. The chapters are organized in a logical sequence. The first two chapters provide a very important overview of dimensioning, tolerancing, and an introduction to GD&T symbology. This helps lead you into learning GD&T concepts gradually and solidly as basic elements build toward more complex technology. The book provides a review test after each chapter and a comprehensive final test covering all concepts. Each chapter also has projects for the drafting students and print reading exercises for the manufacturing students. Additional tests, and projects are found in the Instructor's Guide along with sample course syllabi. Use this book if you want a text that clearly and easily teaches you the GD&T basics.

Overly hard reading for given subject matter.

This book is comprehensive in scope but lacks insightful explanations. The overview chapters at the beginning confuse rather than orient the reader. As someone who has done technical writing for a commercial software package I recognize this as the first draft which covers the material but has yet to be rewritten in a way that will best orient the new user. I expect more given the high prices of technical books. As a student I certainly disagree with what the instructors have to say about the book!

GD&T text and reference

I am a college instructor, and have taught classes using this text. It is an excellent choice for use in a classroom setting. The chapters are laid out in a logical order so the student progresses through the concepts in a meaningful manner that leads to thorough understanding of the standard. The diagrams and examples are well designed and explained. The chapter exercises, tests, and drawing problems are useful to the instructor and educational for the students.In addition to being a classroom text, it is a very good reference book for the work place. It will be useful to anyone in the engineering, drafting, inspection, programming and machining departments. The engineer and draftsperson will use this book as a reference to develop drawings that adhere to the ANSI and ASME GD&T standards, and it will assist others in the interpretation of the drawings. I recommend this book to anyone who is taking a GD&T class or wants to teach themselves this very useful standard.
