    i. COURSE DESCRIPTION

    Corrosion engineering covers a basic but thorough review of causes of corrosion and the
    methods by which corrosion is identified, monitored. It also explores protection strategies and
    industrial applications for corrosion control engineering.

    ii. COURSE OBJECTIVES


    The objectives of this course are to make the student who can predict, identify and mitigate
    corrosion & wear design corrosion in materials, systems, tools and machines.

    iii. LEARNING OUTCOMES:


    Upon completion of this module, students should be able to:

    a. Understand the corrosion process, thermodynamics and kinetics.

    b. Predict corrosion and/or corrosive environment at design stage.

    c. Detects and measures corrosion when it occurs.

    d. Design and implement corrosion control techniques

    e. Understand the wear and deterioration process, and its rate, estimate life of use.

    f. Detects and measures wear when it occurs

    g. Design and implement wear mitigation strategies

    h. Understand the failure and its implications due to corrosion, deterioration and
    wear.

    v. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

    a) Attendance: It is expected that every student will be in class for lectures and also participate in
    all practical exercises. Attendance registers will be kept and used to determine each person’s
    qualification to sit for the final examination. Each student must ensure he or she signs the
    register every time he or she attends lectures, tutorials, practicals and in-class tests. In case of

    Page 2 of 5
    illness or other unavoidable cause of absence, the student must communicate as soon as possible
    with the instructor, indicating the reason for the absence.
    b) Academic Integrity: Violations of academic integrity, including dishonesty in assignments,
    examinations, or other academic performances are prohibited. Plagiarism is not allowed. All
    cases of academic dishonesty will be reported to the University Management for appropriate
    sanctions in accordance with the guidelines for handling students’ misconduct as spelt out in the
    Students’ Handbook.
    c) Assignments Deadlines: Students are expected to submit assignments as scheduled. Failure to
    submit an assignment as at when due will earn you zero for that assignment. Only under
    extenuating circumstances, for which a student has notified the instructors in advance, will late
    submission of assignments be permitted.
    d) Code of Conduct in Lecture Rooms: Students are expected to be punctual for lectures and to
    conduct themselves in a non-disruptive manner during lectures. Students should adjust cellular
    telephones or other electronic devices to a setting that will not disturb others during lectures.
    e) Assignment submission: all assignments will be submitted on the Google Classroom. There will
    be a penalty for late submission and plagiarism.
