ETI’s free skills survey measures how well an individual understands the correct application and interpretation of GD&T.
June 13, 2005 (Press Release) --
WESTLAND, Michigan — The GD&T Online Skills Survey is the latest in a series of free resources available from Effective Training Inc. (ETI). The survey measures an individual’s skill level in the application and interpretation of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, based on Y14.5M-1994. It is designed to help users assess which GD&T topics they understand and what amount of GD&T training is needed.
The survey was developed by ETI’s president, Alex Krulikowski, a GD&T expert with over 30 years of industry experience. The online 25-question survey takes minutes to complete. It can be used by individuals for personal assessment or by companies who would like to test whole departments. To access the skills survey, go to http://etinews.com/skills.
The scoring is in the form of a percentage, and includes a list of which GD&T concepts have been mastered. Results are emailed to individuals or training managers within two business days. There is no cost involved and no purchase required.
“The skills survey measures knowledge of geometric symbols, each symbol’s requirements, tolerance zones, and limitations,” said Krulikowski. “It helps define how much the user understands about Rules #1 and #2; basic dimensions; datums; form and orientation controls; tolerance of position; runout and profile controls. Grasping these concepts is crucial to the correct implementation of GD&T on the job.”
A company that wants to assess an entire department can have each employee can take the quiz on his/her own, or they can contact ETI to set up a group testing. Scores can be emailed to employees, or training managers can receive the group scores.
The ETI website offers many other free GD&T resources for design, manufacturing and industrial engineering, including the GD&T Potential Savings Calculator, a tool that helps companies estimate the amount of unnecessary expenditures each year due to incorrect application and interpretation of GD&T. The website also provides GD&T information and tips through the ETImail online GD&T newsletter, technical papers, a discussion board, and other resources.
