I 17. n 3-04 U cl' Metallurgy may be defined as that branch of engineering which employs the art and science of extracting the metals from ores and concentrates, refining of these metals, manufacturing of these met- als and alloys produced from them, and fabricating both metals and alloys into useful shapes for utilization by mankind. Here at M.S.M. the metallurgical engineer- ing students receive a thorough training in theory and practical application to de- velop sufficient technique to assure use- fulness for the graduate upon entering his chosen profession. The metallurgy curriculum provides a complete training in Process Metallurgy and Physical Metallurgy. The theory is supplemented with practical Work in the required courses. The department has the equipment available to afford the student every opportunity to further his knowl- edge. The laboratories are equipped for research in hydro-metallurgy, pyro-metal- lurgy, or electro-metallurgy in the Process Metallurgy field, and for Work in chem- ical, physical, and thermal tests accom- panied with the study of microscopic and macroscopic structures in the Physical Metallurgy field. Progress in the metallurgy field has been extensive during the past decade. Naturally the War contributed to this ad- vancement because of the increased de- mand for metal and metallic material. Al- though small in number as compared to other types of engineers, the demand for graduate Metallurgists is constantly ex- ceeding the supply. The chairman of the department, Dr. Albert W. Schlechten, came to M.S.M. in the fall of l946. ln l947 he became the Metallurgical Engineering Department chairman. Although Dr. Schlechten is not personally interested in strenuous sports, he is active in bowling and golf. The student first meets Professor D. P. Walsh when taking Principles of Metal- lurgy, Next he is instructed by Professor Legsdin in Mineral Dressing courses. Applying the t'P1'0f. Wfzlslz said heat 7 The experts.
