]. Additionally, similar work has described the importance of training in theassurance such methods are used and interpreted correctly. Yet, the educational process thatinspection and interpretation rely on has gone widely unexplored. Thus, researchers andpractitioners must have some understanding of how NDM pedagogy have been discussed inliterature. Noting this paper’s purpose, this literature review is guided by two research questions: i. What role does engineering education play in NDM training, and in what ways has it adapted to meet global needs? ii. What challenges does NDM engineering education still face moving forward?4. MethodsThis paper was originally written by Justin (a graduate student in both aerospace and engineeringeducation
