What you will learn
Identify and characterize the major material categories used in marine construction and service.
Analyze marine corrosion problems and cathodic-protection design decisions using the source material's methods.
Explain how structure, alloying, processing, and environment affect marine-material performance and failure.
Select appropriate materials for marine applications using documented properties, trade-offs, and failure modes.
Evaluate worked solutions and project reasoning from the source course materials.
