Engineering Tolerance is a permissible limit or limits of variation in a physical dimension, defined and allowed in manufacturing or in other processes like mechanical engineering. Coursera's engineering tolerance catalogue familiarizes you with these stringent standards and the principles behind their creation. You'll learn about the different types of tolerances, how to calculate and apply them, the concept of fits and their applications in design and manufacturing, as well as the role of tolerance in enhancing product performance and reliability. This understanding will equip you with a key set of skills essential for roles in manufacturing, product design, quality assurance, and other engineering disciplines. You'll also gain insights into the latest software and tools used for tolerance analysis and how to effectively manage tolerances for optimal product development.
