Corrosion is a “thin film” layer of attack on any type of metal. Dr. Barbara Shaw’s Corrosion Short Course provides researchers and scientists information on the latest experimental methods to study corrosion. Now in its thirteenth year, past Corrosion Short Course attendees include those in the fields of engineering, biomedical (to reduce corrosion of implants), gas and oil industries, and even a museum curator who is responsible for maintaining an environmentally safe exhibit for the Civil War icon USS Monitor.
