Description
The Faculty Grant, administered by the ASNT Foundation, supports university and college faculty improving education in nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT/NDE). It funds revisions to existing courses and development of new curricula, with the goal of creating innovative, effective educational programs that provide high-quality instruction and prepare students for careers in the field.
Projects focus on teaching NDT principles, methods, and applications and explaining how the proposed content integrates into the department’s overall curriculum. Supported development can include faculty time, purchased curriculum resources, and audiovisual or online teaching materials. Past projects have addressed laboratory instruction, simulation, distance education, and NDT applications in engineering.
