Minerals & Metallurgical
What is Minerals & Metallurgical Engineering?
A form of modern alchemy, this area of engineering converts basic raw materials into valuable products, for example bauxite into aluminum.
Minerals engineers use a wide range of treatments to process materials in the most efficient way. This might involve physical or chemical separations and hydro or pyro-metallurgical processes.
Metallurgical engineering takes this one step further by combining metals and non-metals to make new composite materials. These new composites are lighter, stronger, more durable and heat resistant, and are used in cars, boats, jets, spacecraft and other vehicles.
