Material and Metallurgical Engineers study both the chemical and physical properties of materials with aim to improve them, making them sustainable, reliable and cost effective, adapting them to a particular function of an engineering project.
While Material Engineers work on all engineering materials: metallic, ceramics, polymer and composites materials, Metallurgical Engineers work only on metallic materials.
Some universities around the world offer each as a separate programme but here in Nigeria both are done as a single programme leading to the award of either Bachelor of Science (BSc); or Bachelor of Engineering (BEng); or Bachelor of Technology (BTech) degree in Material and Metallurgical Engineering.
Below are listed the names of all universities which offer Material and Metallurgical Engineering as a programme in Nigeria.
