How to increase the number of students by 50% using online services? 

Our customer, the Center of Nondestructive Testing, has already trained more than 10,000 NDT operators and anticipates an even greater growth of its audience by offering online services. For this Center we developed a web portal with a virtual simulation package for ultrasonic equipment. 

The solution based on mathematical models of ultrasonic wave propagation offers an authentic experience with realistic physics and helps students feel what they do. The algorithm for generating random defects makes the studying process truly effective: interactivity, engagement and visual representation. Students will experience more than 1000 training scenarios generated by this algorithm.

On the web portal, students can

• Get to know nondestructive test instrument interfaces of a flaw detector and a thickness gauge;
• Learn to assess the extent of corrosive and erosive wear and find internal defects, identifying their types, dimensions, depths, and degree of hazard;
• Master product inspection for compliance with regulatory requirements;
• Take a mock exam before undergoing in-person certification. 

The results are assembled automatically. An instructor then grades them, and either assigns a final score or returns the exam for retesting.

The portal is scheduled to launch in 2023. You can find more details about this project in the portfolio on our website
