What will you learn?

Depending on the program you choose, upon completion, you will be able to:

• Apply corrosion theories and principles to account for corrosion causes, failures, and prevention strategies for various corrosion phenomena.
• Analyse a range of practical corrosion-related problems, or situations potentially impacted by corrosion, and propose reasoned viable solutions.
• Acquire relevant corrosion-related data from the literature and other sources, and evaluate and synthesise the data to help mitigate the effects of corrosion.
• Use appropriate and professional language to communicate effectively with corrosion engineers, operators and managers in writing and person.
• Apply suitable technologies for corrosion testing and prevention, and explain their strengths and limitations.
• Integrate own knowledge and past practical and academic experience to solve corrosion-related problems.
• Describe major international corrosion prevention standards and practices and outline their differences.
• Demonstrate awareness of the cultural impact of engineering operations.
• Apply time management, problem-solving and critical thinking skills to investigate and solve corrosion problems.
