In a significant appearance at AMPP 2024, North Dakota State University (NDSU), represented by Assistant Professor Eugene Caldona, showcased its renowned contributions to coatings science and polymeric materials research. Situated in Fargo, the largest city in North Dakota, NDSU stands as a beacon of innovation, particularly in the fields of coatings science and corrosion.
NDSU’s dedication to spreading knowledge through its summer courses
“These courses offer a deep dive into coatings science and corrosion, providing participants with both foundational and advanced understanding“
Scheduled for June, these 1.5-week courses are a golden opportunity for professionals and enthusiasts to enhance their expertise, with early registrants benefiting from discounted fees.
NDSU’s small yet highly specialized department boasts experts in various niches, from biofouling and anti-fouling applications to the use of biosustainable materials and computational analysis for coatings development. Caldona, with his expertise in corrosion and advanced protective coating materials, highlighted the practical applications of 3D printing in fabricating innovative coatings on substrates.
Educational Pathways in Coatings Science
While NDSU doesn’t offer a bachelor’s degree in coatings and polymeric materials, Caldona was keen to point out the available minor in CPM for students pursuing related major programs. This approach allows students to specialize in this high-demand field, preparing them for promising career prospects.
A Call to Young Enthusiasts
Caldona’s message to young followers of Inspenet and potential students is clear: “Don’t let the geographic and climatic characteristics of North Dakota deter you from exploring the opportunities at NDSU“. The university not only promises a robust educational journey in coatings science but also a vibrant life in Fargo.
