The undergraduate program provides a basic education in metallurgical and materials engineering leading to a career in industry or as a basis for graduate study.
Students have the opportunity to specialize in an area of interest at the upper undergraduate level.
The graduate program focuses on academic studies and research that focus on understanding the structure, properties, processing, and performance of materials, which includes the development of new or improved materials and advanced processing methods. We are current with most reference sources including the Metals Handbook . We have a good core collection in metallurgy and a growing materials science collection. In 1997 the electronic version of Metals Abstracts was tested and proved the database did not warrant the cost, therefore paper version is the preferred format at this time. We are examining the possibility of subsidizing Dialog searches for graduate students and faculty.
