North Central Collaboration for Education in NDE/NDT

北中合作开展无损检测/无损检测高级工程技术教育在各行各业对提高机器和结构可靠性的需求增加，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日益增长。无损检测技术员计划已经在全国各地发展起来，主要是为了回应当地工业的具体和迫切的技术要求。爱荷华州立大学无损评估中心与五所社区学院合作，与行业合作伙伴一起，正在为教职员工开发材料和提供专业发展，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用于新课程和现有课程的新课程材料，以及重新开发现有材料，以增加其数学、科学和工程内容。对超声波、射线和涡流无损检测技术的模拟，以前是由爱荷华州立大学开发的，现在正被转移到个人计算机上，用于技术人员项目，让学生培养对感兴趣的参数如何影响检测结果的物理感觉。我们正为社区学院的教职员提供提升机会，使他们能更好地落实在非持续教育方面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，包括开发框架、评估和提升数学、科学和工程。工业伙伴正在参加讲习班，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.
