冶金工程师在确保我们现代社会的可持续性方面发挥着关键作用。我们物质世界中的所有事物，甚至我们的主要能源，都来自矿物或回收材料。冶金工程师的职责是开发，设计和运行将这些低价值原料转化为有用的高价值矿物和金属产品的方法。<br> <br>化学和冶金工程双专业提供了两者的优点世界-广泛的化学工程教育与更专业的冶金课程相结合。该双专业课程旨在与化学工程师课程（尤其是该课程的第1年和第2年）实现最大程度的通用性。化学工程选修课可以算作双专业。
Metallurgical engineers play a key role in ensuring the sustainability of our modern society. Everything in our material world, even our major energy sources, are derived from minerals or recycled materials. It is the role of the metallurgical engineer to develop, design and operate processes that transform these low value raw materials into useful high value mineral and metal products.<br><br>The dual major in chemical & metallurgical engineering provides the best of both worlds - a broad education in chemical engineering combined with more specialist metallurgy courses. The program for the dual major has been designed for maximum commonality with the chemical engineers program, particularly in years 1 and 2 of the program. Elective courses in chemical engineering can be counted towards the dual major.
