The Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, one of the newly established Departments at FUTA was set up to produce qualified Engineers needed in the development of the materials base of the country thereby contributing to its industrial and technological advancements.
This is made possible through a well-designed curriculum which strictly follows NUC Benchmark for Academic Standard and focus on area of disciplines such as but not limited to: Mineral Processing, Mechanical Metallurgy, Extractive Metallurgy, Physical Metallurgy, Production Metallurgy, Alloy Development, Polymeric Materials Corrosion Engineering, Glass and Ceramic Materials, Refractory Materials, Composite Materials, Process and Plant Design and Nanotechnology.
The programme: Metallugical and Material Engineering is design among many other things to:
- Develop students to having sound practical and theoretical knowledge of Metallurgical and Material Engineering to enable them to participate actively in the industry.
- Connect the programme with the relevant industries and research organisations for the betterment of the students and the sector in the country.
Some of the criteria for the students of this programme to earn Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) Honour are:
- For students who were admitted through UTME to complete at least 204 units and 161 units for others.
- For the students to participated and complete all fields and laboratory works and industrial attachment programmes of the Department.
