Required metallurgical engineering courses must be passed with a grade of C- or better. A minimum of eight approved credit hours is required. Students are required to take eight semester hours of approved technical elective courses. Most courses that are 3000-level and above in the colleges of Science, Engineering, and Mines and Earth Sciences that do not duplicate required courses are acceptable as technical electives. Requirements for the Minor To obtain a minor in metallurgical engineering, the student needs to complete one of the following sequences of courses.
Substitution requires departmental approval.
Mineral processing, hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, physical metallurgy, electrometallurgy, metals processing, corrosion, metal matrix composites, electronic materials, and advanced particulate materials. In addition, students may elect to obtain an M.S., M.E., or Ph.D. degree in environmental engineering through the Department of Metallurgical Engineering. Admission and degree requirements for the Environmental Engineering Graduate Program are specific to that program. Entry into the Environmental Engineering Graduate Program may be gained through Metallurgical Engineering or one of the four other participating departments. Please contact the Environmental Engineering Graduate Program administrator for details.
