Master of Science (Corrosion Engineering)

Corrosion engineers apply their knowledge and skills to combat the naturally occurring process of corrosion - the degradation of metals, stone or other materials. Corrosion is an important consideration for the energy and resources industries, which must employ excellent corrosion management practices to maximise efficient, safe production.

• 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 in 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
