314636 v.1 Metallurgical Engineering Double Degree Major (BEng/BCom)
Introduction
Minerals engineering and extractive metallurgy require a sound knowledge and understanding of chemistry and the principles of engineering, particularly process engineering. Mineral engineers and extractive metallurgists are involved in plant design, development, operations and control, management and research. The involvement of students with their colleagues in mining engineering and geology places them in a favourable position for advancement in the mineral industry.
