Metallurgical Engineering

Overview

Program outline

Students majoring in Metallurgical Engineering take a number of engineering management, ceramic engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, math, science and humanities courses in addition to core metallurgical engineering curriculum courses, as referenced in the metallurgical curriculum map.

As a student in the Materials Science and Engineering department at Missouri University of Science and Technology, you’ll learn about the extraction of metal from minerals, wastes, and recycled materials, the design of metallic materials that possess desired mechanical, physical and chemical properties, and the production of components from selected metals and alloys. You’ll be able to choose from a wide-range of specializations, including:

• Chemical metallurgy

• Extractive metallurgy

• Manufacturing metallurgy

• Physical and mechanical metallurgy

All undergraduates must have a significant experiential learning experience prior to graduation. These experiences may include co-op or internships, student design teams, undergraduate research, and others. The specific experience is documented during the senior design course.
