This program is designed to introduce students to the principles of nondestructive inspection (NDI) and nondestructive testing (NDT). Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a testing and analysis technique used by the aerospace industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component, and structure for characteristic differences without causing damage to the aircraft structures. Inspection methods covered in this course are Eddy Current and Ultrasonic inspection. Classroom lecture and hands-on practice with NDI testing equipment, processes, and procedures. Students who successfully complete the certificate requirements may apply for entry-level positions in aerospace nondestructive inspection, nondestructive testing, quality inspection, and aircraft or aerospace manufacturing inspection support.
