Every part on the shop floor begins as a drawing, and the drawing is the contract between the people who design it, make it, and check it. Across 11 self-paced video modules you will learn to read an engineering print from the title block out: the alphabet of lines, multiview and section views, dimensions and tolerances, threads and fasteners, machining and surface-texture callouts, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, and how detail and assembly drawings fit together. Real prints from a working CAD library, all the way through.
In an ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory, the record IS the work — if it is not written well, it did not happen well. Across 10 self-paced video modules, you will master clear, auditable technical writing: from plain language and Simplified Technical English through document control, SOPs, calibration records, uncertainty narratives, nonconformance and CAPA writing, audit reports, and data visualization — finishing with a capstone on AI-assisted drafting done responsibly.
Language model tools draft fast and read well, and they also invent things: an uncertainty with no budget behind it, a root cause no observation supports, a test report that does not exist, a clause that does not say what the draft claims. In short self-paced video modules you will see how a model fabricates each record you sign, from uncertainty budgets and investigations to CAPA effectiveness checks, traceability matrices, clause citations and escalations, and learn the guardrail that stops it, so you can use these tools on your own quality work without being fooled by them.
Someone hands you an AI system and a claim: 98% accurate. You already know how to test a claim like that for a pressure gage. Across 10 self-paced video modules, you will evaluate an AI system the way a calibration laboratory evaluates an instrument: define what performance means, treat the test set as a reference standard, put an uncertainty on the accuracy figure, study repeatability and drift, keep the evaluation traceable, apply a decision rule, and report the result on something that reads like a calibration certificate.
Your lab, or the lab you audit, may already be using AI: in instrument software, in data review, and in the drafts people write. Across 10 self-paced video modules you will learn to audit that use against ISO/IEC 17025 (where AI touches results, records, competence, impartiality, data integrity and decision rules) and to use AI tools in your own audits without letting a made-up fact reach a finding. Every exercise adds a piece to your own AI auditing toolkit.
Test batch: 10 modules (M0, M1a, M1b, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8) of the QCTS course "Introduction to Measurement & Calibration". Each section has the narrated video (captions on), the transcript, and a short knowledge check.
