Program Details

Detailed information about this program

The Cathodic Protection Interference course focuses on AC, DC, and telluric interference. The course provides in-depth coverage of both concepts and practical application of identifying interference and interference mitigation techniques. Students will learn to identify the causes and effects of interference, conduct tests to determine if an interference condition exists, perform calculations required to predict AC interference. Classroom instruction is comprised of lecture and discussion, in-class experiments, case studies, and group exercises. Prerequisite No prior training or experience is required. Recommended: CP Technologist Certification or equivalent training; Basic Corrosion Course; 3 years' exposure to CP field or design level work experience; Thorough understanding of unit conversions, scientific notation, advanced algebra, DC circuits with previous exposure to basic AC circuits, complex numbers, interference testing.

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: emerging (Level 1)(based on Course)

  • Product failure data and laboratory test results — collect and organize under direct supervision to support root-cause investigations in an engineering laboratory setting.
  • Raw material samples — conduct standard quality tests following established protocols on a supervised production floor or lab bench.
  • Technical specifications — read and interpret with guidance to identify key material properties relevant to an assigned design objective.
  • Material deterioration indicators — recognize and document observations using structured checklists under the direction of a senior engineer.
  • CAD and analytical software tools — operate basic functions to support materials modeling tasks with direct oversight in an engineering office.
  • Engineering literature and test reports — summarize findings in written format to assist project documentation under supervisor review.
  • Thermal treatment procedures — follow prescribed protocols for modifying metal alloy samples in a supervised laboratory or production environment.
  • Fabrication and joining methods — identify appropriate techniques from reference materials when presented with standard material combinations by a supervising engineer.
  • Spreadsheet and database tools — enter, retrieve, and organize materials performance data to support team reporting in a manufacturing or R&D environment.
  • Technical team communications — actively listen and relay information accurately during project meetings and laboratory briefings under mentored guidance.
