MET 255 - Metallurgical Calculations

(3 units)

Examples of calculations the metallurgical engineers use will be presented to introduce the general topics of metallurgical engineering. Slurries, mass balances and energy calculations are the primary focus.

Prerequisite(s): MATH 126 or higher; MET 102 or MINE 102. Corequisite(s): CHEM 121A and CHEM 121L or CHEM 201.

Grading Basis: Graded
Units of Lecture: 3
Offered: Every Fall

Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. demonstrate a basic understanding of the types of problems encountered by metallurgical engineers especially how they can be applied in societal context.
2. identify and apply techniques that can be used to solve the problems encountered by metallurgical engineers.
3. demonstrate an understanding of and be able to communicate the fundamental principles, chemistry and physical properties of engineering as applied to more advanced problems in mineral processing, concentration, extraction and recovery.
4. connect science and technology to real-world problems by explaining how this material relates to problems of societal concern.
5. distinguish between sound and unsound interpretations of engineering and scientific information, and employ cogent reasoning methods in their own examinations of problems and issues.
