Trainees will receive instruction in electrochemistry, instrumentation, corrosion simulations, surface analysis, metallurgy, oxidation, environmental testing, corrosion protection, modelling and assessment, and more! Training across these areas will increase interdisciplinary corrosion skills, cross-corrosion communication and leadership skills and provide students with exposure to future employers and networking.
This training is delivered in-person annually at rotating host universities, with remote participation options.
