What you'll learn

• Non-destructive testing (NDT) and inspection techniques (magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, ultrasonics eddy current, radiography).
• Safety procedures for industrial radiation sources.
• How to evaluate the properties of materials from production to processing to detect defects. Use codes and standards from various industries as accept or reject criteria.
• Detection of material defects that could cause unreliable product or process performance or product failure.
• Visual inspection and quality assurance techniques used in the welding industry.
• How to generate technical documents to report inspection results.
• Becoming familiar with the workings of NRCan (Natural Resources Canada).

Mohawk recognizes that life changes people’s directions. That’s why Mature Students don't need to have completed a secondary school diploma to enter a Mohawk College program.

Mohawk welcomes students from many backgrounds:

• Many Mohawk students arrive after being away from school and/or in the labour force for one year or more
• Almost 1/3 of Mohawk students are aged 23 or over, and there are students from every generation.
• Mohawk considers a mature applicant to be anyone 19 years of age or older who is planning to attend a full or part-time program at Mohawk College.
• Adult learners are an important part of our Mohawk community.
• With various work and life experiences, adult learners contribute valuable perspectives to classroom and training programs while obtaining new knowledge and skills.
