The graduate certificate in Materials Integrity and Corrosion Engineering was developed in response to strong industry demand and the national need for expertise in asset integrity, reliability, and management across strategic sectors such as energy (oil, gas, nuclear, and renewables), petrochemicals, aerospace, defense, infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing.

The curriculum integrates:

• core components on corrosion science, electrochemistry and materials degradation mechanisms
• applied course on corrosion prevention and control strategies, coatings and inhibitors, cathodic protection and materials selection in aggressive environments
• advanced training in failure analysis and integrity assessment methods, with emphasis on diagnosing degradation processes and recommending corrective actions

The goals of the Materials Integrity and Corrosion Engineering certificate are to prepare professionals:

• to serve as a technically trained workforce for industry, academia and government agencies with the skills to manage corrosion and integrity challenges that impact asset life, safety and production efficiency
• who are proficient in diagnostic and preventative technologies, including computational and experimental tools for evaluation, inspection and mitigation of materials degradation
• with hands-on and case-based experience applying prevention, mitigation and analysis methods to real-world engineering problems
• who can translate technical expertise into practical solutions that improve the reliability, performance and sustainability of critical infrastructure and engineered systems

This program is also approved for delivery via asynchronous distance education technology.
