About the Author(s)

Bruce A. Wilson - author and illustrator of GD&T: Application and Interpretation, has an international reputation as a leader in Dimensional Management and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). He has contributed to the development of national and international standards and is known for his work in professional training and consulting. Mr. Wilson is certified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) as a Senior Level Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Professional.

Mr. Wilson has more than 30 years of participation in ASME Y14.5 subcommittee standards development. He served as chairman of the ASME Y14 SC5 national committee during the nine-year development of the ASME Y14.5-2018 standard. He served as chairman of the ASME Y14 SC5 working group for location tolerances during the 15-year development of the ASME Y14.5-2009 standard. He served as a member of ASME Y14 SC5 during the development of the ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard. Mr. Wilson has served for more than 25 years as a member of the ASME Y14 committee that has oversight of all Y14 engineering documentation standards, and he was an officer on multiple other Y14 subcommittees. He served as a member of the US advisory group for ISO standards.

Mr. Wilson has extensive training and consulting experience. He has taught GD&T to students from the United States, Europe, and Asia. His experience includes curriculum development, teaching, management of training programs, and instructor development. As part of his engineering responsibilities, Mr. Wilson led training programs for thousands of design engineers, manufacturing engineers, machinists, tool designers, tool makers, quality engineers, inspectors, supplier managers, and managers. He has advised executives regarding the technical needs and health of their organizations.

Mr. Wilson’s industrial experience includes responsibilities ranging from design engineer to program manager and industrial consultant. His design engineering experience includes precision mechanisms, electromechanical, optics packaging, electronics packaging, pneumatics, spacecraft, and aircraft.
