The Department of Metallurgical Engineering is part of the College of Mines and Earth Sciences, University of Utah, in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, and offers - Master of Engineering (M.E.),
- Master of Science (M.S.), and
- Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees.
It typically takes two years to complete a Masters degree and four years to complete a Ph.D.
For course descriptions, see the Graduate Course Listing or the University of Utah General Catalog.
Students interested in a degree in environmental engineering with a metallurgical emphasis should apply to the Environmental Engineering Graduate Program.
Faculty and students are typically engaged in the following general areas of research: - Mineral
processing: fracture characteristics of particles, comminution,
mathematical modeling of specific processes, fluid dynamics of specific
operations, flotation, surface chemistry, and novel designs.
- Hydrometallurgy: metal extraction, concentration, purification, electrodeposition, and corrosion.
- Pyrometallurgy: thermodynamics, kinetics and modeling of high-temperature chemical processes.
- Physical metallurgy: powder metallurgy, nondestructive metal failure detection, magnetic materials, rapid solidification.
- Synthesis and processing of advanced inorganic materials: nanosized and nanostructured materials, magnetic materials.
Specific research topics vary every year. See Faculty for individual research specialties and current projects, and Research Facilities.
