The course outline will serve as a guide to the high school student who wishes to pursue the highly exacting field of checking, gauging, and measuring parts to insure quality and reliability of the finished product. Fundamentals of dimensional metrology involving linear measurement with scaled and vernier instruments are covered in five blocks of work designed for a quinmester course of 135 clock hours. Prerequisite for this course is one year of basic aviation mechanics. Textbooks, laboratory and training manuals, and a film to be used with the outline are listed in the bibliography. Specific behavioral objectives are given for each instruction block, and a posttest with answer key is appended. (Author/AJ)
