Nondestructive Testing Associate Degree Program is a training program in which various techniques are used to evaluate the structural integrity and performance of materials and products without causing damage. The aim of this program is to train specialized technicians required to ensure quality control and safety standards in industrial processes and production. During the training process, students learn non-destructive testing methods such as radiographic, magnetic particle, ultrasonic, liquid penetrant and thermographic used to examine the internal structures of materials.
The curriculum of the program comprehensively covers the theoretical and practical aspects of non-destructive testing techniques, as well as basic engineering sciences and mathematics courses. Students are trained in the application of these techniques, evaluation and reporting of results. They also have the opportunity to make practical applications with various devices and equipment used in this field.
Teaching methods include classroom lectures, laboratory work, hands-on projects and workshops. Students benefit from these methods both to reinforce their theoretical knowledge and to gain hands-on experience in real-world scenarios.
Graduates who complete the Nondestructive Testing program can pursue a career as a technician in various sectors. These sectors include construction, automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, oil and gas, etc. Graduates can work in positions such as quality control, production, maintenance and repair, R&D and project management.
The program also provides students with internship and practice opportunities, strengthening their relations with the business world and ensuring faster integration of graduates into the sector. These internships allow students to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice and experience real business environments in the sector. These experiences increase students' chances of finding a job after graduation and prepare them for business life.
