ATQT 1010 - Quality Inspection - Advanced Techniques 2.00 Credit Hours
Prerequisites: ATQT 1000 .
This course is an introductory class for the quality professional. The course covers the proper use of advanced dimensional inspection equipment such as surface plate and dial indicator measurement, sine plate and angular measurement, surface finish, optical comparator, electronic and pneumatic measurement, and calibration. The course covers nomenclature, instruments, the interpretation of engineering drawings, and measurement methods in a format that is approximately 50% hands-on, although hands-on skills alone are not enough to satisfy course requirements. Math skills and the use of a scientific calculator are recommended, but not required. This course is good preparation for a mid-level job position in the quality assurance field (when combined with ATQT 1000 ) and provides an excellent knowledge base to prepare the student for the American Society for Quality (ASQ) Certified Mechanical Inspector Test.
