Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.
This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract
An Internet course in NDE/NDT technology and applications is being developed as part of the North Central Collaboration for NDE/NDT Education to complement new course materials and instructional modules for use in NDE/NDT technician programs, curriculum redevelopment, and innovation in NDE/NDT technological education in community and technical colleges. Java applets provide a widely used mechanism for platform-independent interactive graphics applicable to learning environments. Embedded in web pages, Java applets enhance the understanding of a physical phenomenon with adaptive visualization. Additionally, many applets can serve as an on-line calculators often required as part of NDE/NDT inspection planning. This paper demonstrates the application of Java applets to basic ultrasonics education via the internet.
