Quality Control meets NDE/NDT technology in this theoretical and practical applied program of materials and equipment inspection, testing and evaluation.

Program Highlights: • Technique courses are delivered by professionals from the Canadian Institute of Non-Destructive Evaluation (CINDE). • Interact with a department that includes Mechanical Engineering Technology and Aviation programs. • Top-ranked professors in their field.

Learning outcomes: • Non-destructive testing (NDT) and inspection techniques (magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, ultrasonics eddy current, radiography). • Safety procedures for industrial radiation sources. • How to evaluate the properties of materials from production to processing to detect defects. Use codes and standards from various industries as accept or reject criteria. • Detection of material defects that could cause unreliable product or process performance or product failure. • Visual inspection and quality assurance techniques used in the welding industry. • How to use codes, standards and specifications to evaluate technical problems, related to manufacturing or field environments. • How to generate technical documents to report inspection results. • Becoming familiar with the workings of NRCan (Natural Resources Canada).

Students in the Quality Engineering Technician - Non Destructive Evaluation (NDE) program will explore theoretical and practical on-site non-destructive inspection and testing techniques that enable examination of parts, equipment or materials in a way that does not impair its usefulness.
