Metallurgical education is the study of Metallurgy and the applied engineering and technical skills in the development of industrial metals and manufacturing processes. Subjects such as mechanics and thermal physics, , applied thermodynamics, metal testing, quality control, instrument calibration and advanced mathemetics are required. Metallugical engineering is divided into, physical metallurgy, mechanical metallurgy and extractive metallurgy. As well as destructive and non-destructive testing. Physical metallurgy Physical metallurgy is the science of making useful products out of metals. The study of Physical Metallurgy combines theoretical concepts, real alloy systems and processing procedures. Its study follows topics common to all metals, including solidification, diffusion, surfaces, solid solutions, intermediate phases, dislocations, annealing, and phase transformations. Also studied is nonferrous alloy systems and significant metallurgical properties and applications; the treatment of steels including iron-carbon alloys, hardening, tempering and surface treatment, special steels and low carbon sheet steel and cast irons. Metallurgical chemistry The study of Metallurgical chemistry involves the chemical behavior of solutes in molten steel and the reactions between steel, slag and refractory materials and their influence on the properties and performance of the final steel product. Metallurgical chemistry involves recovering metals from ore: hydro-, pyro-, and electrometallurgy; and metallurgical reactions. It is a useful study for chemists working in related fields such as refractories, fertilizers, organic solvents, or synthetic resins, and for chemistry students, the course provides a basic knowledge of metallurgical chemistry; and managers or businesses that work with of mining companies. Extractive metallurgy The study of extractive metallurgy focuses on extracting metal from ore, purifying it, and recycling it. Collegiate programs Schools such as Don Bosco Technical Institute have offered a degree in Metallurgy, though that has been phased out in favor of Materials Science. Gradually, metallurgy curricula are being replaced by closely related Materials Science to reflect the current reality, i.e., more and more plastics, ceramics and composites are used for engineering applications. However, cutting-edge applications in this field are associated with nanotechnology, developing super conductors and other atomically restructured metals. North America Schools such as Colorado School of Mines,The University of Connecticut, Michigan State University, University of Illinois, The Ohio State University, Case Western Reserve University, Missouri University of Science and Technology, The University of Florida, University of Nevada, Reno, and California Polytechnic State University College of Engineering offer a degree in Materials Sciences and Engineering. South America * Instituto Sabato * Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul South Asia Pakistan's Universities also offers programs in Metallurgy, Materials Sciences and Metallurgical Engineering. Colleges and Universities such as Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology, University of Karachi, NED University of Engineering and Technology, Dawood College of Engineering and Technology, Pakistan Institute of Engineering & Applied Sciences are few to name it.
