Eddy Current Testing Certificate
This certificate provides students with foundational knowledge related to nondestructive testing (NDT) and offers the opportunity to gain hands-on training in the NDT method of eddy current inspection. Eddy current inspection applies electrical currents to an object to create electromagnetic fields. This type of testing can detect manufacturing defects and corrosion damage or cracking for many nonmagnetic metals and alloys.
Program Length
The certificate program is two-to-three quarters in length, depending on the time students need to satisfactorily complete all graduation requirements.
Admission Dates
Instructor’s permission.
Program Outcomes
• Calculate the optimum frequency when creating a technique for a given eddy current application.
• Choose the optimum probe when creating a technique for a given eddy current application.
• Determine the optimum filters when creating a technique for a given eddy current application.
• Choose or develop a standard when creating a technique for a given eddy current application in accordance with referenced codes, standards, and specifications.
Completion Requirements
Prerequisite(s)
Successful completion of NDT 185 prior to enrolling in NDT 140. NDT 185 requires MAT 099 as a prerequisite. Also successful completion of ENG 091 or equivalent.
