On the afternoon of March 22, at the invitation of the Department of Instrumental Science and Engineering of the School of Mechanical Engineering, the appointment ceremony and academic report of the well-known American non-destructive testing expert Bond adjunct professor was held in the lecture hall on the seventh floor of the Machinery Building. Xu Zhenying, the deputy dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering, awarded Professor Bond  the appointment letter and school badge were worn. The meeting was presided over by Professor Song Shoupeng, the head of the instrument department. All teachers and graduate students of the instrument department, as well as teachers and students in related fields in the school attended the ceremony.

After the appointment ceremony, Professor Bond gave an academic report entitled "Global trends: the future for NDE?", reviewed the development process of non-destructive testing, and looked forward to the development trend of non-destructive testing in the future.  After the report meeting, he visited the non-destructive testing research room of the Instrument Department, listened to the research status report of the research room, and finally had extensive and in-depth exchanges with teachers and students in the conference room of the School of Mechanical Engineering, laying a foundation for further cooperation in related fields in the future  basis.
