QUAL 1011 - Quality Fundamentals

(formerly QUAL-1010) This course is an introductory class for the quality professional. The course covers instruments, scales, calipers, micrometers, miscellaneous hand tools, and gauge blocks, in inch and metric scales, as well as blueprint reading skills sufficient to apply the tools and techniques. The course covers principles, ethics, nomenclature, instruments, 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. We recommend math skills, but a math course is not required. This course is good preparation for an entry level job position and provides an excellent knowledge base, as part of the Skill Specific Certificate, to prepare the student for the American Society for Quality (ASQ) Certified Mechanical Inspector test.
