Hosted by the: 
Mechanical Engineering Program at Texas A&M at Qatar and the TEES National Corrosion and Materials Reliability Center (NCMRC)

Venue: Student center, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Education City
Date: Thursday, March 1, 2018

Objective: Maintaining critical infrastructures and key oil and gas assets is of strategic importance for the State of Qatar. The goal of the workshop is to establish a venue for communication and knowledge-sharing among materials researchers in Qatar working in different sectors with interests in materials selection for extreme environments, reliability and corrosion issues. In order to foster discussion, a group of scientists active in the field of corrosion from local industry and subject-matter experts from top universities in the United States, Europe and Middle East have been invited to share their latest discoveries in related areas.

About:

Mechanical Engineering Program, Texas A&M University at Qatar, Doha, Qatar

The Mechanical Engineering Program at Texas A&M at Qatar is an extension of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, (USA), one of the best and largest mechanical engineering departments in the U.S. and around the world. It offers essentially the same study program as that offered on the main campus in the U.S., and conducts research and services in related technical areas. In recent years, mechanical engineering faculty members are involved in about $25 million of research for Qatar Foundation and various industry in Doha. Texas A&M at Qatar’s vision is to be the premier provider of engineering education in the region, a significant contributor to knowledge internationally and an essential resource to the State of Qatar.

TEES National Corrosion and Materials Reliability Center (NCMRC) at Texas A& M University, College Station, Texas, USA

The National Corrosion and Materials Reliability Center (NCMRC) is a leader in research and technology efforts for materials degradation and reliability. The center’s main focus is research and development within corrosion science and engineering. Through research, education and training, and the testing of materials, the center provides material selection, mitigation strategies and lifetime prediction tools to industry. NCMRC fosters innovation, collaborative research, education and training in corrosion science. NCMRC develops the next generation leaders in corrosion science and technology to work in various industries, including energy, national defense, auto, healthcare, infrastructure and multiple government agencies. The center works to bridge the gap between fundamental research (science) and technology (engineering). NCMRC serves as a world-class corrosion education and research center creating tomorrow's leaders in corrosion science and engineering.
