腐蚀工程技术中的AAS可帮助学生评估现场材料的腐蚀情况，并采用缓解腐蚀的策略。该计划力求在课堂教学与相关领域和实验室工作之间取得平衡。在完成腐蚀工程技术的AAS时，学生还将准备通过NACE提供的基本腐蚀和阴极保护的认证测试。阿克伦大学提供唯一的腐蚀工程学理学学士学位。阿克伦大学的腐蚀工程倡议已经并继续得到美国国防部的支持。该支持已被用来在阿克伦校区建立腐蚀工程学学士学位和国家腐蚀与材料性能教育与研究中心（NCERCMP）。
The AAS in Corrosion Engineering Technology prepares students to evaluate corrosion of materials in the field and apply strategies for mitigating corrosion. The program strives to balance classroom instruction with relevant field and lab work. In completing the AAS in Corrosion Engineering Technology, students will also be prepared to pass certification tests in Basic Corrosion and Cathodic Protection offered by NACE. The University of Akron offers the only Bachelor of Science in Corrosion Engineering degree. The corrosion engineering initiative at The University of Akron has been, and continues to be, supported by the United States Department of Defense. This support has been used to establish a Bachelor of Science in Corrosion Engineering and the National Center for Education and Research in Corrosion and Materials Performance (NCERCMP) on the Akron campus.
