CHEM 360 Microbiology and Biocorrosion for Engineers

This course focuses on two primary areas of study; microbiology and biocorrosion. The microbiology unit is designed to impart an understanding of the biological and chemical interactions of microbes and their impact on the oil and gas industry. The biocorrosion unit gives the students an in depth understanding of how microbes, initiate, facilitate and/or accelerate corrosion of various metals both in aqueous and non aqueous environments. This knowledge will enable students to apply new methods and technologies in their engineering fields.
