This entry lists professional electives for a major in Process Metallurgy within the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Materials Science and Engineering.

Process metallurgy is concerned with extracting metals from their ores to make refined alloys.

The stream is designed to produce graduates with training appropriate to the primary metallurgy industry. The profession is very broad and affords opportunities for involvement in many specialist activities in production, technical control or development, in metal or mineral producing industries.

Process Metallurgical Engineering is introduced in Stages 3 and 4 by a number of professional electives and a thesis project. During the course, visits are made to various metallurgical works, and students are required to submit reports on some of these. Students may complete the first one or two years of their degree at their local university engineering school and then transfer with advanced standing to UNSW.
