Brief Overview of the Course:

The course, CHE 431, addresses the major cause of corrosion of metals and
alloys, effects of corrosion, preventive and corrective measures to corrosion
problems of metals and alloys. All these are being looked at from the
engineering point of view.
Course Objectives/Goals:
The principal aim of the course is to create a life-long impression of the
possibility of having a world full of metals and alloys with less or no
corrosion.
Methods of Lecture Delivery/Teaching Aids:
It is going to be a practical class, through students active participation.
Examples will be drawn from the current and relevant issues in the society.
Students will have access to both the soft copy and the hard copy [in print]
of the lecture note. And with the use of Laptop and projector, pictures and
items that illustrate certain facts will be made available in class. The
teaching aids include Laptop and projector.

through mental productivities, my conducts and mode of teaching will be
tailored in this pattern. And emphasis will be laid on the enforcement of this
goal among the students.
Contemporary Issues/Industry Relevance:
As mentioned earlier, contemporary issues like Factors Responsible for Niger
Delta Crisis and Recent Preventive Maintenance on The Third Mainland
Bridge will be considered.
