Use measuring skills.

Use of measuring skills should include

  • proper implementation of tolerances
  • conversion between units
  • conversion between systems of measurement
  • use of different types of scale (e.g., metric, SAE International, architecture)
  • electronic measuring tools.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • How does the implementation of tolerances affect interchangeable parts in manufacturing?
  • What are examples of catastrophes that could happen when two systems of measurement are used in a project?
  • Which scales are used predominantly in which professions?
