Program Chairs
Mr. Roger Engelbart, Boeing Dr. Tsuchin Chu, Southern Illinois University
About the Program
The aerospace industry makes extensive use of nondestructive testing techniques. The
major drivers for growth in the aerospace NDT market include increasing investments in
the aerospace and defense sector, increasing complexity of machines and structures that need
continual evaluation for maintaining structural integrity, and government’s safety regulations
mandating the use of NDT techniques for clearances.
Come to the Aerospace 2018 ASNT Topical Conference to learn about the latest developments
in technology and market factors in NDT. Engineers, managers and researchers, as well as
quality and manufacturing personnel will benefit from this topical conference.
