The B.S. degree program in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering will serve two broad purposes:

• to provide sufficient grounding for a graduate to perform effectively, over time, in industry or other employment;
• to provide opportunity for all types of students, while maintaining a high level of excellence in all graduates. It will sharpen communications skills, both oral and written. It will also provide basic engineering skills for problem-solving and lifelong learning. We will maintain a balance between the applied and theoretical aspects, and will strive to provide pre-professional employment (either research experiences or internships).
