The threat from the degradation of materials in the engineered
products that drive our economy, keep our citizenry healthy, and
keep us safe from terrorism and belligerent threats has been well
documented over the years. And yet little effort appears to have
been made to apply the nation's engineering community to developing
a better understanding of corrosion and the mitigation of its
effects. The engineering workforce must have a solid understanding
of the physical and chemical bases of corrosion, as well as an
understanding of the engineering issues surrounding corrosion and
corrosion abatement. Nonetheless, corrosion engineering is not a
required course in the curriculum of most bachelor degree programs
in MSE and related engineering fields, and in many programs, the
subject is not even available. As a result, most bachelor-level
graduates of materials- and design-related programs have an
inadequate background in corrosion engineering principles and
practices. To combat this problem, the book makes a number of
short- and long-term recommendations to industry and government
agencies, educational institutions, and communities to increase
education and awareness, and ultimately give the incoming workforce
the knowledge they need. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1
