Metallurgy and Materials Engineering involves the engineering principles required to concentrate, extract and refine metals, materials and carbon (coal) materials, as well as to develop new alloys and materials, including ceramics and composites. Design, operate and manage industrial plants that convert minerals and metals into valuable products. Core subjects in Materials Engineering focus on the structure and behaviour of materials and their conversion into usable forms through heat treatment processes such as welding, forming processes and powder metallurgy.
