Materials Engineering
A Bachelor of Engineering program in materials engineering is offered by the Department of Mining and Materials Engineering. The degree is a cooperative program leading to a BEng and includes formal industrial work periods. It is built around a strong background of mathematics, basic sciences, computer skills and applications, and specific engineering and design courses to provide up-to-date training in metals/materials engineering. Students follow core courses covering a complete range of the industry, from metal extraction to processing, fabrication and applications. The program conforms with requirements of the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) and is designed to offer students the best training for employment in Canada's large and vital metallurgical and manufacturing industries.
The basic courses are supplemented by complementary courses which provide a good choice of specialties for the graduating engineer. The course structure is reinforced with laboratory exercises as well as oral and written communication skills. Graduates in Metals and Materials Engineering find employment in a wide range of industries, which include the mineral/metal producing and processing sectors as well as the aerospace and manufacturing industries Click here for a detailed outline of the Materials engineering program.
