The ISO standards for the Geometrical Product Specification and Verification (GPS) define an internationally uniform symbol language, which allows expressing unambiguously and completely all requirements for the geometry of a product with the corresponding requirements for the inspection process in technical drawings, taking into account possibilities of measurement technology. This avoids ambiguities and inconsistencies during the planning of manufacturing and inspection processes and in addition costs through time-consuming arrangements between the client and suppliers.
The GPS-VToolbox project produced the innovative offer on "Geometrical Product Specification and Verification as a toolbox to meet up-to-date requirement" by using a Blenden-Learning methodology. The curriculum was developed by taking into account current trends in engineering education as well as practice-based cases. Basing on the experiences of the consortium members and especially industrial partner VW, one can be sure that both the companies and engineers await a high-quality training offer in the range of GPS.
The content is imparted by eLearning-modules that are meant for web-based access. The eLearning content consists of explanatory text, enriched (where applicable) with graphics, videos, animations, simulations, practical examples and tasks for the learner self-testing.
Target audience of the project outputs are industrial workers and engineers using up-to-date GPS documentation of the requirements of manufactured parts. The exploitation plan foresees usage of the output material for vocational training of industry employees especially automotive and aviation industries. Via dissemination activities and Multiplier Events performed by all partners a significant number of the members of the target audience was introduces to the project. In all cases, the feedback received was very positive.
