Graduate Diploma in Corrosion Engineering

This course has been developed in partnership with Woodside and Chevron, and has been created to meet growing industry demand for qualified corrosion engineers and quality research in this field.

• apply corrosion theories and principles to account for corrosion causes, failures and prevention strategies
• analyse a range of practical corrosion-related problems (case-studies) or situations potentially impacted by corrosion and propose viable and/or creative solutions
• acquire relevant corrosion-related data from the literature and other sources, and interpret or re-interpret the data in synthesising practical reports
• use professional language and technically accurate written work to effectively communicate with corrosion engineers, operators and managers
• describe the corrosion characteristics of engineering materials, corrosion testing methods, prevention technologies, and explain their strength and limitations
• demonstrate self-reliance, motivation and initiative in planning and managing own learning
• describe major international corrosion prevention standards and practices, and their differences
• be aware of the cultural impact of engineering or related operations
• demonstrate behaviours which support and uphold expectations of practicing engineers and the engineering profession
