EXECUTIVE MSc PROGRAMME IN CORROSION TECHNOLOGY

The Curriculum for the ACE-FUELS Programme in Corrosion Technology received Full Accreditation Status from the National Universities Commission (NUC) in 2022. Philosophy of the Programme The philosophy of the Corrosion Technology programme of the Africa Centre of Excellence in Future Energies and Electrochemical Systems (ACE-FUELS) at Federal University of Technology Owerri, is to train a new generation of highly skilled professionals, who will be able to develop and demonstrate broad-based expertise in the theory and practice of corrosion monitoring, assessment and control as well as deployment of corrosion protection interventions in diverse fields. Aim and Objectives The primary goal in creating ACE-FUELS is to actively contribute towards the development and deployment of renewable and clean energy technologies in Nigeria and indeed Sub-Saharan Africa. In this way, the regional development challenge of poor availability and access to energy will be addressed. Thus, ACE-FUELS Corrosion Technology programme is designed to:

(i) Produce graduates of international standard, with appropriate knowledge and skills in their field of study, who will be highly employable and also able to employ themselves.
(ii) Provide and expand access to relevant academic programmes that will impact on the local, regional and international communities.
(iii) Create a critical mass of well-trained researchers to meet requirements of R&D professionals for design and development of novel technologies, strategies and practices to manage corrosion and its associated consequences and risks.
(iv) Initiate and support high end research, to extend knowledge beyond the existing practice in the industry.
(v) Promote local content in research and innovations by initiating necessary value-driven industry-academia collaborations.

Mission/Vision This postgraduate programme in Corrosion Technology provides unique and comprehensive training on the theory and practice of corrosion and corrosion control interventions in varied environments. By means of an innovative blended-learning approach involving classroom teaching and practical hands-on sessions, the students will receive fundamental training on corrosion appreciation and monitoring as well as diagnosing corrosion problems and choosing appropriate corrosion control technologies to solve diverse corrosion-associated problems. The ACE-FUELS Corrosion Technology programme provides an exceptional opportunity for bright students from Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa to develop and diversify their skill set and ultimately enhance their employability across a broad spectrum of national, regional and multinational companies.
