  3. Apply detail part tolerances to the design and construction of jigs and fixtures. (b,e,i)
  4. Select tooling and materials required for various industrial applications of jigs and fixtures. (e)
  5. Demonstrate design skills for a variety of industrial tooling and related components. (a,i)
  6. Identify specialty types and specific applications of jigs and fixtures. (e,f)
  7. Apply basic concepts of physics-mechanics as related to tool design. (e)
  8. Apply tolerances, limits, and fits to meet industry standard requirements. (a,c)
  9. Read prints, interpret drawings, develop sketches, interpret and apply engineering specifications. (b)
  10. Think critically and independently, analyze, synthesize and evaluate technical problems and information. (e)
  11. Solve problems and make decisions using formal process methods. (e)
