Metallurgical and Materials Engineering is an interdisciplinary department that deals with the production, shaping, and characterization of materials and studies the relationship between physical properties and the internal structure of materials at an atomic and molecular scale. Our department is concerned with the production, improvement, structure, and properties of materials, taking into consideration the relationship among production, structure, and properties in a triangle.

Metallurgical and Materials Engineering involves the development of high-performance materials, such as ceramics, polymers, metals, and their alloys, which are utilized in various industries, including construction, automotive, defense, electronics, energy, communication, space, aviation, medicine, and dentistry.

The Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Department began accepting undergraduate students in the 2013–2014 academic year. Currently, our department comprises 2 professors, 2 associate professors, and 3 research assistants. In the first year, the undergraduate curriculum offers a core program that builds on introductory courses in physics, chemistry, mathematics, and the basic sciences, providing students with a foundation for professional courses and job opportunities in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering in subsequent years. These courses encompass the production of iron and steel, nonferrous metals, powder metallurgy, physical metallurgy, heat treatments, and the production and characterization techniques of alloys and materials.

In addition to the introductory engineering courses, the department offers elective courses that allow students to specialize in various topics, including extractive metallurgy, nanomaterials, composites, ceramics, energy, electronics, and biomedical materials. In their senior year, students are required to have completed a summer internship in the industry prior to graduation. Additionally, students are required to participate in a graduation project and deliver an oral presentation.
