Department of Metallurgical Engineering
Metallurgical Engineering is a discipline that involves the study, innovation, design, implementation, and improvement of processes that transform particles and metals into modern products that improve the quality of our lives. According to the Minerals Information Institute, every American born will need 3.7 million pounds of minerals, metals and fuels in their lifetime. Metallurgical engineers are trained in the technology to produce these materials as cheaply and as an environmental friendly ways as possible.
The links below will provide more information about what is metallurgical engineering, the accreditation of the department and the mission and objectives of our department.
