Center for Surface Engineering and Tribology, Materials Science and Engineering Department, Institute of Space Technology (IST) with its expertise in materials and surface engineering and corrosion advisory is committed to enlighten the public and private industry of Pakistan by organizing a series of short courses and workshops in specialized engineering areas on a regular basis. 
These short courses are specially designed to provide a practical understanding of the topics based upon theoretical knowledge of concepts that are involved in the field of Surface engineering through a combination of lectures, lab sessions, and various case studies. This course is highly recommended for professionals dealing with material/coating failures in various fields of engineering in general and personnel dealing with corrosion and tribological analysis in particular. The participation in this short course would help build a pool of qualified professionals with knowledge of the failures generating prudent corrective preventive measures (CPMs).
