Top > Metals for New Era
Shortly after the Stone Age, humans mastered ironmaking technique. In the Middle Ages, chemical phenomenon was discovered as a result of alchemist's false experiment, leaving us valuable treasure as the basis of Modern Chemistry. In modern times, metallic materials made a crucial contribution to the invention of internal combustion engine, which led to Industrial Revolution. In consequence, metals and metallic materials play important roles in the development of human civilization.
Furthermore, in the Contemporary Era, metals and metallic materials are essential portion for
Metallurgical engineering has been developed to the most systematic basic subject after experiencing the ablution of history. With good knowledge and experience of this basic subject, we can readily explore unknown fields.
In our department, we first learn the most fundamental subject----Metallurgical Engineering, then on this basis, students start research and develop advanced materials, environment friendly materials and their metallurgical process. The educational aim of our department is to cultivate engineers and researchers who can master the general knowledge and their application in material development.
