Moscow, 117829 Russia ABSTRACTNon Destructive Testing (NDT) is a technology of significant importance for determining theintegrity of engineering materials in a myriad of applications. NDT has become inherent tovirtually every process in industry where the condition of parts and assemblies need to beevaluated in order to determine their usefulness and serviceability. The testing of materials playsa significant role in design and manufacture of engineering equipment and, therefore, it is anessential ingredient of engineering education and training.

Kirk: Yes. (Other two male students also nodded in approval). Stephanie: Not for me. Interviewer: No? How come? Stephanie: I think I’m going on into manufacturing. Unless I’m manufacturing some military technology which I don’t plan on it. Because I couldn’t live with myself if I manufactured guns or something like that. Kirk may think differently. But unless I go into some military class, it wouldn’t really apply to me. It was very interesting though. Selena, a female student in 2017
