- Introductory lectures on the cost of corrosion and examples of corrosion in applications.
- A literature study on a chosen application example, in which corrosion must be considered, in the form of a written report (3000-6000 words + figures, at least 20 references). The report will be shared with all course participants.
- A one-page summary (in the provided template) to act as a quick reference for other course participants.
- A presentation in the form of a seminar (1 hour).
- Active participation in the discussion of all other presentations (at least 80% attendance required).
