- Whether
you are an instructor of a NDT course or just provide a brief introduction
to NDT as part of another technology course, such as welding or
aircraft maintenance, we hope that you find this site to be a resource.
This site was created with funding from the National Science Foundation
to serve as a focal point for NDT education on the Internet.
It is hoped that NDT educators and professionals will use these
materials, critique these materials, and contribute to these materials
to continually raise the quality of NDT education. We encourage
you to become an active participant in this endeavor. While
there are some excellent printed resources available, it is believed
that the graphic, dynamic and interactive nature of these materials
will improve the understanding and retention of the information.
It should also be noted that these materials are not intended to
be a stand alone course in NDT, but rather as supplementary materials.
The
site will also server as a convenient means of sharing education
materials related to the field of NDT. An example is the
"Introduction to Nondestructive Testing" material that were developed
to allow instructors of a variety of technical education subjects
to acquaint their students with the basic NDT methods. It
is also hoped that this site will serve to increase the recognition
of NDT as a career field and attract students to eventually help
address the shortage of NDT technicians and engineers. You
are encouraged to explore the entire site, but the links to the
right will take you to material that you will probably use most
often.
We are interested in any comments that you may have about this
site, but are especially interested in hearing how you are using
the materials. This information will help us to evaluate the impact
of this site on NDT education.
