DESCRIPTION:Coatings Science is a diverse field in which important principl
 es are derived from a wide range of disciplines such as Chemistry\, Physic
 s\, Polymer Science\, Material Science\, Colloid and Interfacial Science\,
  Color and Appearance\, and Rheology. To be effective in this field\, know
 ledge of the fundamentals as well as an understanding of the application p
 rinciples are essential. Effective teaching and training approaches must i
 nclude reinforcement of principles with real world examples. Cal Poly's wi
 nter short course on polymers and coatings brings together a mix of academ
 ic and industrial experts in the field to guarantee both these aspects are
  addressed. The one-week course will cover many aspects of coating technol
 ogy with emphasis on liquid coatings. Other coatings technologies (e.g.\, 
 powder coatings) will be discussed in order to compare and contrast with t
 raditional liquid coatings. In addition\, participants will benefit from d
 iscussions of VOC and air quality aspects of coatings by experts in both i
 ndustry and government regulatory agencies. Participants are expected to h
 ave had some exposures to the coatings field along with working knowledge 
 in chemistry and other sciences.  Short courses are conducted twice per ca
 lender year\, once in the summer and once in the winter.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Lear
