Industry event offers well-timed view of welding facilities

Members of the American Society of Non-Destructive Testing, Susquehanna Valley Section, got a closeup look at Penn College's expansive welding labs when they recently held a dinner meeting in the Lycoming Engines Metal Trades Center. The visit heralds this fall's start of an associate degree in non-destructive testing through the college's School of Engineering Technologies – part of a revised curriculum developed by instructor Michael J. Nau and James N. Colton II, assistant professor of welding. The Susquehanna Valley Section, chartered in 1988, covers a 90-mile radius around State College.
