CNDE hosted its Fall 2024 Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) Meeting on November 12-14.
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 2024 and two ongoing projects. Team members for the MAPOD project also provided updates on this ongoing project. Board members reviewed the project presentations and gave feedback on each project.
The Post-IAB Seminar was unique this year as it had two parts. In the first part, Cara Leckey (NASA), Eric Lindgren (AFRL), and John Aldrin (Computational Tools) spoke about their perspectives on AI/ML in NDE. In part two, Ripi Singh spoke on “Introduction to NDE 4.0: Why, What, and How.” After each presentation, there was time 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 AFRL and GE Aerospace to discuss opportunities such as Internships, Co-op, and full-time Engineering positions available in their organizations.
IAB members from ASNT, AFRL, GE Aerospace, General Motors (GM), Honeywell Aerospace, IHI Corp., John Deere, NASA, Naval Nuclear Laboratory (NNL), Northrop Grumman, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls-Royce were in attendance, as well as invited guests.
