NDT 3451 – Introduction to Nondestructive Testing (3)
This course is designed to acquaint students with the six major nondestructive evaluation disciplines: radiography, ultrasonics, eddy current, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant and visual inspection as well as provide students with an overview of less common Nondestructive Testing methods.

NDT 3452 – Visual Inspection (3)
This course is devised to introduce the student to forms of discontinuities in the manufacturing and service life of a part.  Students are provided with an understanding of how and why a specific Nondestructive Testing method is chosen and acquainted with visual inspection techniques and their correct use.  This course is designed to meet certain Nondestructive Testing Level II certification requirements.

NDT 3453 – Codes and Practices (3)
This course is designed to acquaint the student with federal and state codes and standards associated with the six disciplines involved with nondestructive evaluation—radiography, ultrasonics, eddy current, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, and visual inspection—typically used in the manufacturing industry.  Students will develop procedure and acceptance requirements for a given inspection.

NDT 3455 – Magnetic Particle/Liquid Penetrant Testing (3)
