It was identified that all but one of the WCM 603 Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) were being covered in other courses.

Measuring the difference is the base of triangulation methods. This can be seen in Figure 1. InFig. 1(a), a surface is illuminated by a narrow laser beam, and the linear sensor captures the reflection from thatsurface. In Fig. 1(b), a laser line, can also be called as laser sheet, is generated by the cylindrical lens and projectedto the surface. In general, the needed inspections and measurements can be classified into alignment offsets inassemblies, gaps in assemblies, diameter changes, bumps, cracks and angle between surfaces. Figure 1
