Overview
The Corrosion Engineering Training course focuses on applying corrosion science principles to practical engineering issues in marine technology. It covers corrosion control strategies through detailed case studies. Designed for engineers and scientists involved in ship and offshore structure design, the course offers a balance of theory and practice. Led by Dr. Hodgkiess, a seasoned expert in marine technology and water treatment, the course spans two days and includes topics like corrosion mechanisms, control methods, and materials selection.
Who should attend
Engineers, Scientists
About the Course
The course is designed to provide a cohesive theme relating corrosion science principles to practical corrosion engineering problems and a review of corrosion control strategies in the marine technology field. The course contains detailed case studies drawn from the lecturer’s research, testing and consultancy experiences.
Who Should Attend
Engineers and scientists involved in the design of ships and offshore structures. Personnel from shipyards, oil companies, classification societies and offshore structure builders will benefits from attending this course. The course is innovative in both content & structure with a careful balance of theory & practice.

ABOUT THE LECTURERS:
Dr. Hodgkiesshas had several decades of R & D, consulting and teaching experience ion the marine technology and water treatment industries. Most of his research investigations have been reported in over 150 published papers together with many consultancy reports. He has undertaken numerous consultancies, test investigations and research investigations, in the fields of corrosion, materials selection and water treatment, for a large range of clients – mostly in the marine technology sector.
He has presented short courses (overseas and UK) on corrosion and corrosion control for specific industrial companies (including on-site courses) and for general attendance; including a long-running MTEC module.
For many years, he was a member of the UK MOD Standardisation (Metals and Corrosion) sub-committee – in connection with which he has written eight UK Defence Standards.
He is a past recipient of the Guy Bengough Award, by the UK Institute of Materials, for a series of papers on corrosion and corrosive wear of a range of materials.
