life on “E“Earth“th“ planet and sustain all manifestations of nature.

What we need ….
Maintain and enhance competence of thepersonnel
The advances and developments thattake pplace are to be disseminatedmappropriately.
Generate specialised human resources
needed for NDE applications.
Sensitise andd inculcateltheh requiredd interest
and competence right from the basic
degreeglevel so that youngyg students
and researchers get motivated.

Objective of this Working Group (WG-3)
Motivate the young students and researchers into thefascinating field of NDE Science and technology.

• Introduction of NDE in curriculum• Standardisation of NDE curriculum• Attract bright young minds to the challenging research andrewarding
g careers

Synergise linkages between institutions, industries,
academics bodies, professional societies, standardisation
institutes and regulatory bodies
bodies.
Nurture and Recognise Professional Competence andExcellence
Identify weak links in converting mature research to
new standards – (A good example synergy between ISOand IIW)

Working Group should primarily focus on
Promotion of NDE in
Educationz

Development and harmonisation of
educational and training materials,

ResearchzIndustryz

Cooperative and outreach programs withnational and international industry / groups
for promoting worldwide safety, productquality and economic well being ofpeople - emphasis on need based research

Education
Development of modules in NDE science andtechnology for value addition to undergraduate
and postgraduate students in engineering andpost graduate students in science (physics,materials science) to prepare them forapplicationappl
cat on of NDE judiciously
jud c ously and have acapacity for absorbing new developments in NDE
science and technology.
Integrated NDE curriculum for undergraduate
and postgraduate levels

ResearchÖ Priortise high impact and generic research areas
such as Data Fusion
Ö Special sessions in major international events on
Frontiers of Research (16th WCNDT startingpoint)pont) and iss be
