This study analyzes the prospects for integrating Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) into the curriculum of the Materials Engineering course. Furthermore, it provides lesson plans to support educators in implementing LCT into their teaching practices. A mapping of the Pedagogical Project of the Materials Engineering Course at the Federal University of Piauí, Brazil, was carried out to identify elements related to LCT. Subsequently, course programs were analyzed to identify those that addressed LCT perspectives or had the potential for inclusion. The analysis was facilitated by a constructed tool, called a guideline, based on the scientific literature on the subject. The Materials Engineering course curriculum is not aligned with sustainability and LCT approaches. A gap was identified between what is proposed in the Pedagogical Project of the Course and the course programs. Thus, there is a need for clear guidelines to support the implementation of LCT in teaching practice, defining what to teach and how to teach it. The exclusivity of this study lies in proposing lesson plans to integrate LCT that were specifically developed for the Materials Engineering course but have the potential to be used and/or adapted for other Engineering courses. The proposal of nine lesson plans for various subjects fills the gap between LCT theory and its practical application in Engineering education. It is essential to prepare future engineers with knowledge and skills to tackle the challenges of a constantly changing world to create a more sustainable future. Limitations should be considered when interpreting the results, such as the lack of practical implementation of proposed lesson plans with students. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct additional studies aiming at practical applications using the LCT approach in engineering education.

“…Some of these methods are costly and not suitable for use in daily maintenance [3][4]. Dissolving and chemical reactions are mostly methods using chemical reagents, which can remove the rust layer well, but the residual waste liquid is difficult to recycle and is very easy to pollute the environment [5][6]. With the development of time, these non-environmentally friendly methods will slowly reduce the utilization rate or even be eliminated.…”

Automated laser descaling represents a crucial advancement in marine maintenance, particularly in localized corrosion treatment. This research utilizes AH32 marine steel for corrosion testing, applying color feature extraction and the OTSU thresholding method, refined with morphological processing, to accurately delineate descaling areas. We have engineered a laser descaling protocol with an impressive 97% recognition accuracy through the innovative application of LabVIEW technology combined with machine vision. Implementing this technology promises enhanced corrosion resistance for marine vessels, setting a new standard for maintenance efficiency and quality.

Learning with a purpose: a metals chemistry course centered on objects conservation

Corrosion is the visible result of redox reactions on multiple substrates, “rust” being the known, although this term only applies to iron and iron alloy objects. Using corrosion as a relatable example to teach redox eases this concepts’ understanding because its results are visually identifiable; both in everyday objects like door hinges, and in cultural heritage objects like cannons. This article concerns the latter class of objects, as they have the potential to engage people interested in fields that seem unrelated to chemistry. The reality is the opposite, as cultural heritage professionals assess objects used in humanities disciplines like archeology and history through the lens of science. This article discusses how conservators approach corrosion on cultural heritage objects and provides experiments for any base-knowledge and age-level students to learn about the process of corrosion and electrochemistry.
