The Materials Corrosion and Protection course focuses on corrosion and the potential problems caused by corrosion. It provides a basic but thorough review of causes of corrosion and the methods by which it can be identified, monitored, and controlled. Active participation is encouraged through hands-on experiments and case studies, as well as an open discussion format. This course has been created to meet growing industry demand for qualified corrosion engineers and quality research in this field.

After fulfilling all the course requirements, as prescribed by the course plan, the student is capable of applying the acquired knowledge to: • Explain the importance of corrosion engineering in terms of sustainable development. • Describes and to distinguish between different types of corrosion damage of engineering materials. • Define the potential mechanisms and causes for development of different corrosion damage and preventive measures. • Identify and select the corrosion protection method. • Link knowledge in materials science applied in the field of corrosion engineering and corrosion protection. • Connect the acquired knowledge in this field with other areas and applies them in practice.
