Field of Concentration in
Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation



The existence of the NDT&E Laboratory has made it possible to established a field of concentration in NDT&E for the students to integrate the principles of NDT&E into their design curricula in order to learn how to design for inspectability. A typical secondary field of concentration consists of the following courses: GE 354-Fundamentals of Nondestructive Evaluation (3 or 4 hrs); GE 393-Special problems in NDT&E (3 hrs), where students spend one semester addressing a NDT&E problem in the Laboratory; GE 334-Introduction to Reliability Engineering (3 hrs); and another course in signal processing, robotics, or material behavior (3 hrs).
