GD&T, Dimensioning, and CAD

ME 129, 130, 251

As part of Cal Poly's Mechanical Engineering Curriculum, I learned how to hand draft, create SOLIDWORKS part, assembly, and drawing files, how to properly dimension parts on an engineering drawing, how to properly apply tolerances and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) to a part, and much more. In these three classes I spent hundreds of hours practicing and learning all these skills. Here are a few examples of the work that I completed for these classes.
