Students will obtain a GD&T certification as part of programme
It added that under this newly formed industry-academia collaboration, engineering students of all specialisations at APU will benefit by attaining a GD&T certification through associated modules embedded within the programme. “Subsequently, the skillset will be embedded in the first-year module across all engineering programmes, which will eventually be imparted to students for a better understanding of engineering drawing, and more importantly the principles of tolerancing when a dimension is assigned to a certain geometry,” Sivanesan said.
Once honed in the right direction, the university said this would enable students to perfect the technology of reverse engineering, allowing for more products to be produced in a shorter time. “With this, they will have an additional advantage in competing internationally, guided by experts from Zeiss,” he added.
