Corrosion Engineering
Program Fundamentals
UA has launched the nation’s first baccalaureate program in corrosion engineering. The program incorporates a multidisciplinary curriculum to train students to understand the origins of corrosion and manage its effects.
Corrosion engineering requires a broad knowledge and cuts across many disciplines. Students receive instruction in:
- chemical engineering
- mechanical engineering
- civil engineering
- electrical engineering
- physics
- modeling
Professional Preparation
Along with a multidisciplinary approach that emphasizes strong science and engineering principles, the program integrates a strong management component to help our students develop the skills that are necessary for executing "real world" projects.
Our faculty
- incorporate real engineering design challenges into courses
- collaborate on research with students and colleagues at UA, other schools, government agencies and private industries
