Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is a symbolic language used on engineering drawings and computer generated three-dimensional solid models for explicitly describing nominal geometry and its allowable variation. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing training is used to define the nominal geometry of parts and assemblies, to define the allowable variation in form and possibly size of individual features, and to define the allowable variation between features (Wikipedia). Course instruction will be to standard ASME Y14.5-2009
