Aim
The aim of the Nondestructive Testing subject is to provide a user-oriented overview of non-destructive testing (NDE) testing procedures, imaging procedures and qualification methods used in the mechanical, electrical and energy industries. The subject presents the basic non-destructive material testing measurements and the equipment required for them, as well as the material testing procedures used in defect analysis.

Informed about the statistical methods of requesting the results of non-destructive tests.
Ability
Apply non-destructive debugging material testing procedures. Uses visual, dye penetration and magnetic crack testing methods. Uses conventional and state-of-the-art ultrasound examinations, including phase control (PA) and runtime sensitive (TOFD) examinations. Uses radiological examinations, including X-ray, isotope and neutron examinations. Uses microstructure testing procedures including SEM, TEM, XRD, AFM, STM tests. Manages state-of-the-art digital image processing procedures and evaluation systems. Separates three-dimensional digital imaging procedures. Describes electromagnetic material testing procedures, the method of nonlinear harmonics, Barkhausen noise measurement, and the measurement of magnetization curves. Able to select the appropriate non-destructive test method. Performs statistical evaluation of the results of non-destructive tests.
Attitude
Constantly monitors his work, results and conclusions. Expands your knowledge of non-destructive testing by continuously gaining knowledge. Open to the use of information technology tools. Seeks to become familiar with and routinely use the equipment required to perform material testing measurements. Summarizes its views and publishes its views without offending others.
Independence and responsibility
Collaborates with the instructor and fellow students to expand knowledge. Accepts well-founded professional and other critical remarks. In some situations, as part of a team, work with your fellow students to solve tasks. Makes a responsible, knowledge based decision. Committed to the principles and methods of systematic thinking and problem solving.
Teaching methodology
The subject is taught in the form of lectures and independent preparation. The lectures basically introduce the competence elements of knowledge to the students using the technique of frontal education. The lectures provide an overview of state-of-the-art non-destructive testing procedures, their tools and testing options. The lectures are complementary to the available written study materials, and individually they are not sufficient to achieve adequate preparation.

General rules
Learning outcomes are assessed on the basis of two mid-term performance measurements (ZH). 50 points can be scored on both ZHs. To successfully complete the subject, at least 40% of the points must be achieved on both ZHs. The mid-term performance measurement requires the necessary lexical knowledge on the one hand, and focuses on the application of the acquired knowledge on the other hand, thus focusing on problem recognition and solution. During the performance assessment, the candidate must apply the knowledge for practical nondestructive materaial testing problems.
Assessment methods
Detailed description of mid-term assessments
| Mid-term assessment No. 1 | ||
| Type: | summative assessment | |
| Number: | 1 | |
| Purpose, description: | The learning outcomes are evaluated on the basis of the mid-semester written performance measurement (ZH). It contains comprehensive questions to be explained, the answers to which they have to give an account of their mastery of the theoretical course material. Some of the questions require shorter answers, they primarily assess basic knowledge, while others require more comprehensive knowledge of a particular topic. At least 40% of the points must be achieved in order to successfully complete the closed-room thesis. On the one hand, the closed-room thesis asks for the necessary lexical knowledge, and on the other hand, it focuses on the application of the acquired knowledge, thus focusing on problem recognition and solution. During the performance evaluation, the examinee must apply the acquired knowledge to a practical material testing task. | |
| Mid-term assessment No. 2 | ||
| Type: | summative assessment | |
| Number: | 1 | |
| Purpose, description: | The learning outcomes are evaluated on the basis of the end-of-semester written performance assessment (ZH). It contains comprehensive questions to be explained, the answers to which they have to give an account of their mastery of the theoretical course material. Some of the questions require a short answer, they primarily assess basic knowledge, while others require a comprehensive knowledge of a particular topic. When answering the written exam questions, we assess not only the lexical knowledge, but also the extent to which the student has mastered the applicability of individual non-destructive material testing methods. At least 40% of the points must be achieved in order to successfully complete the closed-room thesis. On the one hand, the closed-room thesis asks for the necessary lexical knowledge, and on the other hand, it focuses on the application of the acquired knowledge, thus focusing on problem recognition and solution. | |

The weight of mid-term assessments in signing or in final grading
| ID | Proportion |
|---|---|
| Mid-term assessment No. 1 | 50 % |
| Mid-term assessment No. 2 | 50 % |
The condition for signing is that the score obtained in the mid-year assessments is at least 40%.

Determination of the grade
| Grade | ECTS | The grade expressed in percents |
|---|---|---|
| very good (5) | Excellent [A] | above 85 % |
| very good (5) | Very Good [B] | 85 % - 85 % |
| good (4) | Good [C] | 70 % - 85 % |

Special rules for improving, retaken and replacement
The special rules for improving, retaken and replacement shall be interpreted and applied in conjunction with the general rules of the CoS (TVSZ).
| Need mid-term assessment to invidually complete? | ||
| NO | ||
| The way of retaking or improving a summary assessment for the first time: | ||
| each summative assessment can be retaken or improved | ||
| Is the retaking-improving of a summary assessment allowed, and if so, than which form: | ||
| retake or grade-improving exam possible for each assesment separately | ||
| Taking into account the previous result in case of improvement, retaken-improvement: | ||
| new result overrides previous result | ||
