Course abstract

Course on Introduction to Corrosion Science and Engineering is offered by several academic institutions, including IITs, NITs, colleges affiliated to various universities. But a specialized course on Cathodic Protection Engineering is not being offered by any of these institutions excepting IIT Bombay. The course is important as cathodic protection is one of the most important means of controlling corrosion of buried metallic structures and India is embarking on building large pipeline network. Notably, this course will be valuable to personnel with mechanical, civil, electrical engineering back ground are involved in design, commissioning and maintenance of pipelines who do not have any formal training in cathodic protection.
