The CIS is a new center formed within MPI that is dedicated to the advancement of nondestructive testing methods and instrumentation through pre-competitive and collaborative research, as well as through training and education. The Center provides a technological forum for joint research efforts by industry, academia, and the federal government.
The objectives of the CIS is for industrial, governmental, and academic participants to undertake and facilitate the investigation of technological and scientific issues challenging nondestructive evaluation, while providing a venue to educate future industry participants and leaders.
The CIS acts as an independent catalyst for industrial innovation and the exchange of information and ideas in all aspects of nondestructive evaluation (NDE). By integrating scientists and engineers from different disciplines (electrical, mechanical, computer science), the CIS addresses the fundamental scientific and engineering issues facing the industrial sector that desires, or is required, to deploy NDE for quality assurance. The initial focus of CIS is on ultrasound, microwave, X-ray, and eddy current nondestructive instrumentation and applications.
