NE 110 Introduction to Non-Destructive Testing and Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Toolkit Description:
This Introduction to Non-Destructive Testing and Quality Assurance/Quality Control course is from the RCNET Comprehensive Teaching Toolkit: Quality Assurance and Quality Control, and is drawn from courses taught at Chattanooga State Community College (CSCC). These courses are available as part of the Engineering and Information Technologies division at CSCC, and are part of concentrations in Non-Destructive Testing Technology, Nuclear Power Engineering Technology, and Quality Assurance/Quality Control Technology. Other courses in the toolkit include QA 212 Power Plant Construction and Quality Assurance/Quality Control ​and NE 127 Codes, Standards, and Regulations.

Toolkit Course Contents:

Introduction to Non-Destructive Testing and Quality assurance/Quality Control is intended to provide students a synopsis of widely used and lesser used non-destructive evaluation methods, as well as introduce relevant quality assurance and quality control requirements in accordance with ASQ, ASME, and ANSI standards

Materials available as part of the Teaching Toolkit include a syllabus, course outline, six labs, three lab assignments, 11 PowerPoint presentations, two additional assignments, three tests, and other related materials. 

The 2-page syllabus includes a brief course description, three educational objectives, eight course outcomes, four student outcomes, and a list of topics covered. 

The 1-page course outline is a general schedule that includes subjects covered and the homework assignment for each week. 

Six labs are provided and most include short descriptions and directions for completing the activities. Three lab assignments are provided and include answer keys.  

Eleven PowerPoint presentations are included and each covers a different topic. Topics include classification of discontinuities, non-destructive testing, liquid penetrant testing, ultrasonic inspection, and visual inspection; as well as related topics.

Two tests, a final exam, and study guides are included. 

For orientation purposes Syllabus_Intro to NDT and QA_QC.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type off material included in this course. 

Below is a list of the files contained within the .zip attachment. The size of each file is included in parenthesis.
