Course contents

Historical development of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering. Differentiation between materials and metallurgical engineering. Role of materials and metal products in human civilization: Stone age, copper age, iron age, nuclear age, ICT age; imagine the world without materials and metals. Study Periodic Table; classification of metals; Materials and Metallurgical Engineering: definition and classification: Process (Extractive) metallurgical engineering. Get acquainted with terms like roasting calcination, agglomeration, smelting, smelters contract, refining and furnaces. Physical metallurgical engineering: structure - property -application relationship. Mechanical metallurgical engineering: Stress - strain relationship and application. Study of properties and applications of materials of construction or manufacture: ceramics, metals, polymers, and composites. Materials and Metallurgical engineering: ferrous, non- ferrous and other materials industries as basis for industrialisation and national economic development. Nigerian materials and metallurgical industry; professional bodies such as Nigerian Society of Engineers, Nigerian Metallurgical Society (NMS), Materials Science and Technology Society (MSN). 200 Level
