This course provides an overview of nondestructive examination (NDE) technologies for degradation monitoring of assets. This course covers key topics such as NDE testing goals (i.e., what do you want to get out of NDE) and current NDE technologies such as radiography (RT), ultrasonics (UT), eddy current (EC), and more. Additionally, the course will address common damage mechanisms and their morphologies, choosing the appropriate NDE method for specific damage mechanisms, and effectively acquiring NDE data.
Whether you're new to NDE technologies or seeking to expand your knowledge, this course provides an overview and practical understanding of how to monitor asset degradation effectively.
This course includes:
This course includes on-demand video lessons, comprehension checks, and a final exam
CPD and PDH eligible, with a certificate provided upon completion
Access for 12 months upon purchasing the course

Mindy Wu
Engineer II at Equity
Ms. Wu has experience developing damage mechanism reviews and inspection plans for clients in refining and petrochemical facilities, as well as identifying corrosion monitoring locations and recommended testing methodologies suited to an application’s needs. She has developed inspection guidelines for equipment and piping inspections and has conducted detailed industry literature reviews for less common corrosion mechanisms. Ms. Wu was an Undergraduate Researcher with the Allanore Lab Group at MIT and had hands-on experience in the forge and foundry, which included metalworking, casting, blacksmithing, TIG/MIG welding, and enameling. She was also a Teaching Assistant for the undergraduate courses Introduction to Solid State Chemistry and Materials in Human Experience.
