It is essential to have a degree in today’s market place. It isn’t to enough know the trade aspects of a profession but the business

aspects as well. If there is one

individual who is probably the most important person in the industry, manufacturing, and

technical knowledge-it’s the inspector. Due to my years of experience

as a welder and working closely working with inspectors in areas of non-destructive

testing, other fields of inspection such as non-destruct testing were available As a result

of my welding degree, I was able to be qualified as a radiographer. As a student, my goal is to obtain higher education through academic

standards and technical proficiency. Inspection requires academic instruction as well as lab proficiency.

It is my personal goal to continue my education in non-destruct testing through education

and practical examination, and to combine my technical and academic education in my

chosen field. As I learned the art of master welding, I also

learned of the aspects involved in becoming a certified welding inspector. While it is important to focus on learning a trade, it is equally

important to have people skills. the field of non-destructive testing continues to grow as technology

expands and technicians are hard to find based on education and training standards.

An inspector is responsible for accepting or rejecting materials by applying applicable

code procedures based on established formats and accepting or rejecting fabrication

and/or standards. With a degree in Business Management you will have

the necessary tools to effectively communicate.
