COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course objectives

Presentation of various types of construction materials and their properties relevant to their practical application; the fundamental processes of corrosion and protection of materials as well as methods for testing and control of corrosion processes. The course will teach students to acquire creative approach to solving the problems caused by corrosion in order to protect the environment.
