Non-Destructive Testing (Ndt) Teaching Implementation in Vocational Colleges: Perspective from Industry Experts

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) have been long introduced in vocational colleges (VCs) in welding technology courses focusing on post-weld inspection. The NDT careers are on the surge, and these fields are continually advancing according to Malaysia Bureau of Labour Statistic. Several previous studies...
