This is particularly true ifthe implementation of hands on instruction of NDT can be achieved with a modest financialinvestment as it is the case when using the Capillary Diffusion Method (CDM) for this purpose.CDM for material testing is a versatile technique developed in the former Soviet Union andrelatively unknown in the United States. Nevertheless, CDM has been used in the field, andcontinue to be used in the Russian Federation for NDT of materials in a wide variety ofapplications

These courses usually do not have laboratories orhands-on activity associated with them. However, these courses are very important because they provide thefoundation for important areas of electrical engineering including circuits, systems, communications, control andsignal processing. Unfortunately, many students do not recognize the relevance of the material at this point in their careersand have difficulty because it appears to be "only math and theory.” The resulting low motivation often
