The Metallurgy and Materials Science Program has been specifically designed
to accommodate most areas of industry associated with research, development,
manufacturing and materials control. Carefully selecting electives will
prepare students for specialization. Students interested in the laboratory
control of processing may wish to select electives in welding, fabrication,
manufacturing processes or quality control. Likewise, students interested in
development or industrial research may wish to complete electives in materials
or physical science, design or computer technology.
Metallurgy and Materials Science graduates have knowledge of the philosophy
of metallic and nonmetallic materials used in industry and can apply principles
basic to scientific laboratory investigation, research, product development and
process control.
All courses are not offered each semester. Students should work with
the Counseling Department to set up a schedule that will work for them.
Students who satisfactorily complete all College Requirements qualify for the
Associate in Applied Science Degree.
Students seeking transfer to a baccalaureate program should request transfer
guides provided by the department.
