AN ASSESSMENT OF EDUCATION IN NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING-PRESENT STATUS AND THE FUTURE NEEDS

THE PRESENT STATUS OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AVAILABLE TO THE FIELD OF NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING IS DISCUSSED. THE PRIME SOURCE OF THE MATERIAL FOR THE PAPER IS A RECENT SURVEY BY THE EDUCATIONAL COUNCIL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE ARE DIRECTED TO A WIDE ASSORTMENT OF PERSONNEL WORKING IN THE SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING FIELDS ON BOTH THE PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNICIAN LEVELS. THE TEACHING FACILITIES CAN BE CATEGORIZED AS THOSE EMANATING FROM INDUSTRY, GOVERNMENT, PROFESSIONAL SOCIETIES AND THE FULL SPECTRUM OF THE FORMAL EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS-I.E., FROM THE VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL TO THE UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE CURRICULA OF THE COLLEGES. THE OBJECTIVES, TEACHING METHODS AND NEEDS OF EACH TEACHING FACILITY ARE PRESENTED AND FORM A DATUM PLANE TO REFERENCE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVING THE TEACHING OF NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING. /AUTHOR/
