Overview

Students in the Metallurgical and Materials Engineering program of Colorado School of Mines will learn about crystal structures and structural analysis, thermodynamics of materials, transport phenomena and kinetics, phase equilibria and the properties of materials, as well as how to apply this knowledge in materials processing, the design and application of materials, and statistical process control and design of experiments. Students have the option of choosing one of four focus areas: physical and manufacturing metallurgy, ceramic and electronic materials, physicochemical processing of materials, and biomaterials.

The metallurgical and materials engineering discipline is founded on fundamentals in chemistry, mathematics and physics which contribute to building the knowledge base and developing the skills for the processing of materials so as to achieve specifications requested for a particular industrial or advanced product. The engineering principles in this discipline include crystal structure and structural analysis, thermodynamics of materials, reaction kinetics, transport phenomena, phase equilibria, phase transformations, microstructural evolution, mechanical behavior and properties of materials.
