冶金工程学学士-能量转换和存储

冶金工程涉及研究，创新，设计，实施和改进流程，这些流程将矿产资源和金属转变为可改善我们生活质量的有用产品。这包括加工材料，例如金属和合金，以提取，精炼和回收金属。没有冶金工程，我们将没有建造建筑物，飞机，火车，轮船甚至山地自行车所需的组件。冶金工程课程由ABET工程认证委员会认可，涵盖了冶金三个主要领域的课程工作：矿物加工，化学冶金和物理冶金。其他课程涵盖诸如冶金热力学，流体流动，动力学以及传热和传质等主题，以及一般科学（化学，工程，物理和数学）。由于社会非常依赖金属，冶金工程已成为一个越来越重要的研究领
Metallurgical engineering involves the study, innovation, design, implementation, and improvement of processes that transform mineral resources and metals into useful products that improve the quality of our lives. This includes processing materials, like metals and alloys, to extract, refine and recycle metals. Without metallurgical engineering, we would not have the components we need to build buildings, aircraft, trains, ships, or even mountain bikes. Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, the Metallurgical Engineering curriculum consists of coursework across the three main areas of metallurgy: mineral processing, chemical metallurgy, and physical metallurgy. Additional classes cover topics like metallurgical thermodynamics, fluid flow, kinetics, and heat and mass transport, as well as the general sciences (chemistry, engineering, physics, and math). Because society is so dependent on metals, metallurgical engineering has become an increasingly important area of study: continued economic and technical progress will depend on further advances in metal and mineral technology. This program additionally offers students the option to complete one of 6 emphases, allowing them to tailor their program to best fit their strengths and interests.
