Metallurgical Engineering

Metallurgical engineering program is prepared to offer specialized education in the field of modern extractive metallurgy. It covers broad content in the field of metal production from the preparation of raw materials, through the production of metal alloys, to obtaining an ingot. It focuses on the construction and principles of operation of the devices used in production, as well as on the techniques of the ongoing processes. It enables to gain the theoretical knowledge in the field of physical phenomena taking place during extraction processes and high-temperature chemical reactions, including their thermodynamics and kinetics.

In the first stage of education (1 semester) the study program covers general engineering issues in the field of extractive metallurgy, casting, plastic processing and shaping the properties of manufactured metal products. The aim of this part of education is to explain and summarize basic knowledge for students with different undergraduate expertise. In the second stage of education, specialized subjects are proposed introducing specialist knowledge in the field of modern design solutions for metallurgical equipments and modern process technologies in the field of iron, steelmaking and non-ferrous metals production (e.g. hydrogen reduction processes, modernized electric arc furnace, processing of metallurgical waste in the context of closed-loop economy) (semesters 2 and 3). In the final semester, only a one specialistic subject, diploma seminar and the preparation of a diploma thesis are planned, i.e. acquiring highly specialized knowledge in the selected diploma subject, including carrying out research work, performing experiments and analyzing the results that leads to formulating conclusions.

Graduates will gain necessary knowledge and experience required in modern metallurgical industry and related industries.

Mentor of the field of study: prof. dr hab. inż. Mirosław Karbowniczek
