Corrosion engineering is a multidisciplinary profession that supports the protection, reliability, and sustainability of critical infrastructure worldwide. It sits at the intersection of materials science, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and asset management.

Despite its importance, corrosion engineering remains largely invisible to engineering students in Africa — few curricula include dedicated modules, and awareness of career pathways is limited.

C2S actively promotes corrosion engineering as a rewarding and impactful professional career pathway for students and young engineers throughout Africa, providing career guidance, mentoring, and pathways into the profession.
