CNDE hosted its Fall 2025 Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) Meeting on October 28-30

As usual, CNDE hosted a Pizza with Students event, during which our board members connected with students interested in working in the NDE community after graduation.

CNDE researchers presented updates on four research projects that started in August 2025.  Team members for the MAPOD & Grand Challenge project also provided updates on their ongoing project.  Board members reviewed the project presentations and gave feedback on each project.

The Post-IAB Seminar titled “From Acceleration to Ultrasound: MEMS In-Sensor Computing for Ultrasonic Defect Detection in Additive Manufacturing” was presented by Dr. Fadi Alsaleem from the University of Nebraska. Following the presentation, there was an opportunity for board members, staff, students, and visitors to participate in a Q&A session on each topic.

CNDE hosted an Academic and Industry Networking Event where NDE-focused students could connect with representatives from GE Aerospace, Honeywell, Northrop Grumman, and Pratt & Whitney to discuss opportunities such as Internships, Co-op, and full-time Engineering positions available in their organizations.

IAB members from ASNT, Boeing, GE Aerospace, General Motors (GM), Honeywell Aerospace, IHI Corp., Northrop Grumman, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls-Royce were in attendance, as well as invited guests.
