| Course Introduction：A course must be flexible so that it can accommodate the needs of the students. Therefore this is an interactive course. Any syllabus is purely provisional and will almost certainly be modified as the course proceeds and the responses and requirements of the students become clear. The course covers the design of coatings and also techniques for understanding the design performance, preparation for manufacturing, reverse engineering of coatings that give problems in manufacture, material properties and their measurement, performance of coatings in systems and allied topics. Nowadays all this requires the use of computers with suitable software. This course makes use of the Essential Macleod software but it is not necessary to possess this software to profit from the course. The principles apply to any well-written software package. People who attend the course can take these principles and apply them to their own software even if it is not the Essential Macleod. A major feature of the Essential Macleod software is that it is very easy to use, so that very little time is involved in learning to use it. The students will spend most of their time actually designing coatings. The emphasis of the course is on understanding. People who understand what they are doing will do it much better. An important feature of the course is that students have the right to ask questions later. Often questions arise after a course is over. The instructors will always be ready, willing and happy to receive questions from the course students that they will do their best to answer. E-mail addresses for this purpose will be issued to students at the end of the course. |

| We list the topics separately but they are all interrelated. For example, we cannot design coatings effectively if we do not understand material properties, and so although the list shows designing coatings first and understanding materials second, some aspects of these topics must be taught together. How much time we spend on each topic will depend very much on the needs and interests of those taking the class. | |||
