Fundamentals Of Dimensional Metrology, 6th Edition Solution Manual - Page 4 preview imageivPREFACEThis is the first edition of the lab manual that is being introduced in association with therelease of the 6thedition ofFundamentals of Dimensional Metrologyby Connie L.Dotson. This lab manual may be used as a guide or as a complete workbook to provide ahands-on lab experience with select chapters of the book. In addition to the experience ofusing various metrological instruments, technical writing is a critical feature of this labmanual. The goal is to help students develop their writing abilities as they become skilledin using metrological instruments and are more able to accurately and succinctlydocument their data findings.IntroductionOf the many challenges associated with teaching metrology, students’ ability to gainhands-on experience with various measurement instruments and systems is important. Tothis end, the following recommendations are made:Consider dividing the class of students into teams comprised of just of twomembers. Each team will then be able to have one student conduct a measurement whilethe other student records the data. It has been my experience that this mutual supportworks very well with larger class sizes. However, this approach does not negate thestudent’s responsibility to individually complete their own work and lab reports.The chapters are divided into two sections. The first part of each chapter describes thecontent, learning objectives, and required classroom material or tools for you as the instructor.The second part contains student exercises, which may be printed as handouts.Provide as many variations of measurement instruments and equipment as possibleto provide as broad an exposure as possible, reduce the delay of team use, and increasethroughput. Certainly, having more than one of the more technically advanced systemssuch as the optical comparator, or the coordinate measuring or vision system may presenttheir own unique challenges.

Fundamentals Of Dimensional Metrology, 6th Edition Solution Manual - Page 5 preview imagevPREFACEThe labs in this manual generate data, so students should bring their own writingutensils and paper to record their data. An emerging trend is the use of personal electronicdevices such as phones with cameras and electronic tablets to take pictures of lab setupsand parts, as well as to record data directly to a spreadsheet format for the lab report.Geometric and dimensional tolerancing, as well as statistical analysis, are keyingredients to successful measurements and process control. Statistical calculations havebeen incorporated into the lab process to allow insight into the usefulness of the generateddata. It is recommended that GD&T be incorporated into the CMM demonstration.Lab SafetyA safe learning environment is required for any lab to be successful. Standard safetyoperating procedures and the use of personal protection items should be reviewed at thebeginning of each new term. The following suggestions are the minimumrecommendations that should be considered for any metrology lab.•Provide a map showing the location of emergency exits and that describes exitprocedures and review it often.•ANSI Z87.1 certified safety glasses. Preferably non-tinted. Students alreadywearing glasses should verify the impact resistance of their glasses andincorporate the use of appropriate side shields.•Closed-toe shoes.About the AuthorSteve gained over 37 years of experience working in the automotive industry in a numberof capacities and functions. His experiences included engineering labs, original equipmentsales, marketing and aftermarket sales, and service distribution networks. During the latterpart of his career, he returned to his passion of engineering and gained varied experiencesin product engineering, systems engineering, and engineering management. His globalexperiences gave him valuable insight into the integration of science, technology,engineering, and manufacturing. He is currently working at a major state university as asenior lab coordinator and has taught a metrology class for a number of years.

Finally, the lab will help your students gain insight and practicetechnical and descriptive writing.Items needed:•For Exercise 2, choose objects for students to prepare a written description.Objectsmay include various size gage blocks, steel rules, sine plates, angle blocks, feelerguages, or other classroom objects. The purpose of Exercise 2 is, not it to providepractical technical writing practice.
