Engineering, Materials and Components (EMC)

Course Number: TT002

Description:

CINDE, leaders in specialized training for NDT inspection techniques in cooperation with Northern Lakes College, are proud to present live on-line the course:   Engineering, Materials and Components (EMC).

A strong foundation in engineering, materials and processes is vital to the Nondestructive Evaluation Training (NDT) Technician. This training course offers you the opportunity to learn about the materials used in manufacturing, the metallurgical and mechanical properties which determine the strength of the material and how these properties are developed, the means used to process materials and how defects may be introduced into the material through these processes. Understanding the manufacturing process from start to finish is the key to a successful NDT career.

The course provides fundamental knowledge of materials and processes with respect to the broad sector termed EMC (Engineering, Materials and Components). To meet CAN/CGSB-48.9712, extensive knowledge is required in materials and processes and flaw types specific to welds, castings, forgings, etc. The EMC course is ideal for those who intend to challenge the CGSB examinations in any method and for welders, machinists, visual inspectors, manufacturing supervisors and anyone involved in material or equipment reliability.

Topics include:

  • Nature and properties of materials
  • Solidification of metals
  • Solid-state changes in metals
  • Introduction to heat treatment
  • Properties of Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals
  • Metal Specifications and Uses
  • Loads and Material Responses
  • Manufacturing Methods
  • Causes and Recognition of Discontinuities
  • Powder Metallurgy
  • Heat Treatment
  • Machining
  • In-service Behavior of Metals

Delivery
Live, interactive sessions are delivered ON-LINE via internet conferencing with 2-way audio and interactive display on your computer. TWELVE, 3 HOUR SESSIONS, 36 hours plus 4 hours of on-line videos plus exam time.

An advantage of the CINDE on-line course is that theory training can be taken from work or home, thus eliminating the need to travel.  

Attendance
In order to complete this course successfully, you must have 100% attendance, which can be a combination of  a minimum of 70% live classes and a maximum of 30% playback.  (We record all sessions in case a student misses a class due to holidays, work, etc., so they can go back to play the recording.)

Pass Grade
Students must achieve an overall final average of 70%.  Quizzes given during the course contribute 30% and the Final exam contributes 70% to the overall final grade.

Completion Certificate
Students meeting the Course Completion Criteria will receive a CINDE training certificate confirming they have met the theory training requirements in accordance with CAN/CGSB 48.9712.

Attaining Certification
Successful completion of this course meets the Engineering, Materials and Components prerequisite implemented by the Canadian NDT Certifying Agency, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) for certification of NDT personnel.  Learn more about the prerequisites at:    http://www.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca/mms-smm/ndt-end/eli-adm-eng.htm
