Non-Destructive Examination Technology

Transcription

1 Non-Destructive Examination Technology The Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) Technology curriculum prepares students for careers in non-destructive testing of materials, equipment and/or components. NDE test methods assess an object s integrity without affecting its function. NDE is used in many industries, including construction, petrochemical, pulp and paper, power generation and aerospace. Coursework includes ultrasonics, radiography, liquid penetrant, visual, magnetic particle and eddy current examination. Applied math and physics are an integral part of NDE and the curriculum. Students gain knowledge of these methods through applied theory and hands-on applications. The NDE curriculum meets classroom and laboratory training requirements of Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT), permitting graduates the opportunity to obtain method-specific NDE certification after a few months of on-the-job experience with their employers. Career opportunities exist in applied NDE, material sciences, technical sales and quality control in many industries. Many of the courses are offered through a Fast Track program (any semester course offered in less than a 16 week semester). When creating a class schedule, pay particular attention to the start/end dates and times of the courses. Visit Career Coach for career information.
