The role of electrochemistry in corrosion is explained and the different experimental methods of measuring corrosion rates for metals follow from the kinetic and thermodynamic behaviours expected in different environments. Different forms of corrosion are introduced. Practical classes introduce students to the standard equipment used for corrosion measurement and classes using problem based learning in groups allow students to become familiar with directing their own investigations of corrosion problems.				Course Code	Module	Credit Hour		---	---	---		BBM 5123	Engineering Materials, Fundamentals and Selection	3 credits		The course will cover the fundamental science underlying technical requirement for engineering materials selection used in upstream and downstream Oil and Gas industry as well as power plant in relation to corrosion performance. It covers the mechanical, physical and electrochemical properties required for service performance. The course will continue with the principles limitations of type of materials used in a specific service environment and will focus on computer simulation of corrosion rates as an aid in material selection.				Course Code	Module	Credit Hour		---	---	---		BBM 5134	Corrosion Control and Management System	4 credits		The course will cover the basic elements of corrosion control and management and explore the latest industry methodologies, techniques and tools. Emphasizing the mandatory compliance with the requirement of HSE, the course is aimed at familiarizing the precipitant with proactive integrity management of the equipment used in downstream and upstream Oil and Gas industry based on fitness for purpose assessment and risk based inspection (RBI). This course will explain the principles, the benefits and limitations of risk-based inspection employed in Oil and Gas industry asset management. Drawing on that it will be discussed how the strategic inspection practices is employed to manage the risks for safe and reliable operation of the asset.				Course Code	Module	Credit Hour		---	---	---		BBM 5214	Cathodic Inhibtion, Cathodic Protection and Protective Coating	4 credits		This course provides corrosion processes and mechanisms of preventing with the use of cathodic protection techniques and coating. This course also considers how corrosion data is used to by engineers from other disciplines and in failure assessment; where both structural engineering concepts and information on rates of degradation of structures can be integrated to provide robust techniques to assess the integrity and lifetimes of industrial plant and equipment.				Course Code	Module	Credit Hour		---	---	---		BBM 5223	Engineering Failure Analysis and Inspection	3 credits		This course covers introduction to failure analysis and prevention, corrosion failure, materials selection for failure prevention, manufacturing aspects of failure and prevention, structural life assessment methods, tools and techniques in failure analysis, case studies in failure analysis, and risk-based Inspection.

FAQ

Q1. How the ODL classes be held?

A1. All the ODL course materials shall be accessible online in ULEARX platform where the students can learn from anytime, anywhere and anyhow at your self-study pace amidst work commitment. Students may also attend online live classes by joining MST, or watch the session recordings later.

Q2. How will the Industry-based project be done online?

A2. The proposed research project can be experiment/simulation or corrosion failure investigation case that is closely related to your professional line of work, so that the student can contribute to the research element of the project.

Q3. What does it mean by minimum study duration of 12 months to maximum 36 months?

A3: Up to the student’s study pacing and work commitment, student can plan on what and how many courses to enrol in each semester, so that he/she can complete the MSc within these study durations.
