Master nauka u metalurgiji i obradi minerala

Metallurgical/Mineral Processing Engineering deals with all aspects of metal and non-metal processing and manufacturing.

Mineral processing engineers have the responsibility of accepting ore mined from the earth, comminuting the ore until liberation occurs, and then removing the valuable minerals in the form of concentrates.

Extractive metallurgical engineers extract the valuable metals from the concentrates, remove impurities from the metals using aqueous or thermal chemistry, and then market the purified metal as a commodity.

Physical metallurgical engineers accept various purified metals and alloy them to control a number of characteristics including strength and corrosion resistance.

Materials engineers control the same characteristics but pertaining to plastics, composites, glasses, ceramics, etc.

Originally chartered as The Montana State School of Mines, Montana Technological University (Montana Tech) has evolved into a dynamic institution which connects focused students to a network of people, opportunities, and experiences that empower them to change the world.

Along with world-class offerings in resource engineering, Montana Tech offers programs in other areas of engineering, the sciences, mathematics, computation, health, business. We offer certificate programs, associate, bachelor, and master’s degrees along with with doctoral degrees in Materials Science and Earth Science & Engineering.

Montana Tech’s commitment to research has resulted in significant funding for compelling projects that will help transform tomorrow. Undergraduate and graduate students alike are frequently involved with faculty and staff in these important research programs.
