Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering Discipline Overviews:

Chemical Engineering emphasizes chemistry, mathematics, and creativity to solve important societal problems, from developing new pharmaceuticals safely and efficiently to creating clean and inexpensive fuels for energy conservation and pollution prevention. Chemical Engineers have exciting careers as designers, troubleshooters, and technical leaders in fields such as pharmaceuticals, advanced materials, fine and specialty chemicals, food protection, environmental protection, biotechnology, clean energy technology, semiconductor fabrication, paper manufacturing, computer systems, and plastics manufacturing.

 

Metallurgical and Materials Engineering is a broad discipline, ranging from the extracting of valuable minerals and metals from ores, to the production of steel, to the development and fabrication of pure metals, alloys, and other materials. The combination of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering in the same department gives students a broader base of knowledge, particularly useful for those interested in working in the mineral industry.
