50-420-713Precision Measurement for Machine Trades
Course Information
Description
This module is designed to acquaint the apprentice with the measurement systems and tools most frequently used in layout and machining processes. Subject matter includes semi-precision through super-precision measuring tools and equipment combined with opportunities to investigate new technologies. This course was formerly module 3 in related instruction.
This course alone cannot produce the qualified industrial journey level worker. It is but a component of a complete apprenticeship which, when complemented with competent and effective on-the-job training by a qualified journey person can produce a technician capable of dealing with the most industrial work situations.
