B.S. Metallurgical EngineeringMetallurgical Engineering or Metallurgy has classically been defined as
the science and art of extracting, refining and adapting metals from minerals and
other metal-bearing materials at a profit for human use. The course embraces four
closely related fields: minerals engineering, extractive metallurgy, physical
metallurgy and adaptive metallurgy. The metallurgical engineering curriculum offers a balanced treatment of these
major fields of metallurgy. Instruction is mainly on fundamental principles which
are the building blocks of present and future technology. These principles can
be integrated later by the student to meet new challenges in the processing and
design of engineering materials. The metallurgical engineer may find employment in mines, mineral processing
plants, smelters, steel mills, fabrication plants and other factories where metals
and materials are being used.
