Program Rationale:

The unit of MET offers an Associate Degree program in Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE).

  • Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) that encompasses Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) has developed very rapidly into a widely accepted practice driven by the needs of modern Industry.
 
 
  • NDT techniques are widely used to detect and monitor defects in engineering materials such as cracks, stress concentrations and corrosion in piping and other mechanical systems in the primary industries such as oil and gas production plants. Other industries, such as the transportation sector is another big user of NDT techniques for maintenance control.
     
  • As new NDE methods and techniques have been invented, developed and applied, the need for trained technicians has grown rapidly.  It has now become apparent that NDE technicians and engineers with suitable training and qualifications are in continuously increasing demand.

All courses are designed to emphasize practical application. Most courses have integrated laboratory/practical sessions to help students relate theory to practice.  Industrial site visits and co-op training demonstrate subject applications and develop the student's maturity, hands-on & interpersonal skills, industrial awareness, etc.
