The Bachelor of Science in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at Colorado School of Mines equips students with core understanding of structural and functional materials' processing, characteristics, selection, and uses. The curriculum covers crystal structures and analysis, materials thermodynamics, transport phenomena and kinetics, phase equilibria, material properties, and practical applications in materials processing, design, statistical process control, and experimental design.
This engineering field builds on chemistry, mathematics, and physics fundamentals to develop expertise and abilities for processing materials to meet specific industrial or advanced product requirements. Key engineering concepts encompass crystal structure and analysis, materials thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, transport phenomena, phase equilibria, phase changes, microstructural development, and mechanical behavior and material properties.
