North Central Collaboration for Education in NDE/NDT

在广泛的行业中，对提高机器和结构可靠性的要求越来越高，因此对无损评估和无损检测（NDE/NDT）方面的教育和培训机会的需求不断增长。全国各地都发展了无损检测技术人员计划，主要是为了满足当地工业的具体和紧急技术要求。爱荷华州立大学无损评估中心与五所社区学院以及工业伙伴合作，正在开发材料并为教师提供专业发展，以改善无损检测/无损检测专业技术人员的教育。主要活动包括开发和传播新的课程材料，用于新的和现有的课程，以及重新开发现有的材料，以增加其数学、科学和工程内容。以前在爱荷华州立大学开发的超声波、射线照相和涡流无损检测技术的模拟，正在转移到个人电脑上，用于技术人员课程，使学生能够对感兴趣的参数如何影响检测结果产生物理感觉。社区学院的教职员工正在获得提高的机会，使他们能够更好地实施濒死体验的新工业和研究发展。工作坊为两年制大学教师提供专业发展，以发展数学、科学和工程的框架、评估和升级。工业伙伴参加了讲习班并为该项目提供指导。

North Central Collaboration for Advanced Engineering Technology Education in NDE/NDT Increased requirements for improved reliability of machines and structures in a wide spectrum of industries have created a growing demand for educational and training opportunities in non-destructive evaluation and non-destructive testing (NDE/NDT). NDT technician programs have developed in various parts of the country, largely in response to specific and urgent technical requirements of local industries. The Center for Non-Destructive Evaluation at Iowa State University in collaboration with five community colleges, together with industrial partners, is developing materials and providing professional development for faculty to improve the education of technicians with specialization in NDE/NDT. The primary activities include the development and dissemination of new curriculum materials for use in new and existing courses as well as the redevelopment of existing materials to increase their mathematics, science, and engineering content. Simulation of ultrasonic, radiographic and eddy current NDE techniques, previously developed at Iowa State University, are being transferred to personal computers for use in technician programs to allow students to develop a physical feel for how parameters of interest influence inspection results. Community college faculty are being provided enhancement opportunities to enable them to better implement the new industrial and research developments in NDE. Workshops provide professional development for two year college faculty in development of frameworks, assessment, and upgrading the mathematics, science and engineering. Industrial partners are participating in the workshops and providing guidance to the project.
