MTE 487 Corrosion Science and Engineering. The course is aimed at investigating the underlying fundamental causes of corrosion problems and failures. Emphasis is placed on the electrochemical reactions occurring and the tools and knowledge necessary for predicting corrosion, measuring corrosion rates, and combining these with prevention and materials selection. One to three hours. An assigned problem is explored individually.
Credit is based on the amount of work undertaken.
One hour each semester. Senior standing in the College of Engineering. Phases of metallurgical engineering not included in other courses are reviewed. Specialized topics are presented by visiting lecturers. Abstracts and projects are prepared and presented by students.
