The Department will provide an outstanding education that balances theoretical and practical instruction for the design, analysis, and operation of metallurgical systems. They design and supervise the processes that produce such goods as structural steel, wire, or sheets of aluminum. Sometimes they are involved in processes that use these metal goods in the manufactu
re of other finished products. Extractive Metallurgy: concerned with the process of removing metal from ore. Ores are mixtures of metals and other substances. Once the ore has been mined, many steps are needed to extract the metal and refine it to a relatively pure form. Mineral Processing: involves gathering mineral products from the earth’s crust. Metallurgical Engineering students, learn the fundamentals of all three fields, as well as the basics of engineering in general. Metals make up important parts of cars, bikes, planes, buildings, even toothpaste tubes. Knowledge of the production, design, and manufacturing of these metals and mineral products can be rewarding and exciting.
