The Department of Metallurgical Engineering was set up in 2008 leading to 4-year B.E. programme. The Department has approximately 120 undergraduate students. We are a leading centre for teaching and research and consistently gain the highest rankings in the assessment of result achievements in CSVTU, Bhilai.
|
| Department Highlights |
We have also developed strong links with industry. The Metallurgical Engineering discipline is founded on fundamentals in chemistry, mathematics, and physics that contribute to building the knowledge-base and developing the skills for the processing of materials so as to achieve specifications requested for a particular industrial or advanced product. The engineering principles in this discipline include: crystal structure and structural analysis, thermo dynamics of materials, reaction kinetics, transport phenomena, phase equilibria, phase transformations, microstructural evolution, and properties of materials. One of the very important dimensions of this department is its well equipped laboratory with sophisticated machines. Sophisticated testing machines in various laboratories of this department can meet the requirements of students as well as local industries.
|
| Departmental Objectives |
|
The objective of the Metallurgical Engineering program is to impart a fundamental knowledge of materials processing, properties, selection and application in order to provide graduates with the background and skills needed for successful careers in materials related industries, for continued education toward graduate degrees, and for the pursuit of knowledge in other disciplines. The Metallurgical Engineering Program's educational objectives are consistent with those of OPJIT. OPJIT is an engineering institution, dedicated to the education and training of students who will be stewards of the earth's resources.

| How we are better |
|
| Metallurgical Engineers use the most advanced technology, equipment and instrumentation to: |
-
Study and understand the development of the most efficient, environmentally aware and cost-effective processing technology to produce materials with high performance standards
Study and understand the fundamental structure of materials -
Study, measure and understand the properties of materials required for various applications
-
Combine a thorough understanding of these three areas to perform as a Metallurgical and Materials Engineer for a wide spectrum of industries.
|
|
| Departmental Laboratory |
-
The department’s laboratory facilities provide our students with hands-on experience in the processing of materials and the methods of determining the structure and properties of materials.
Our excellent laboratory facilities allow students to develop their skills using state-of-the-art equipment and instrumentation. The Metallurgical Engineering Department is well-connected with industry. There is highly specialized research laboratories dedicated to: Materials Science and Metallography, Mineral Dressing, Extractive Metallurgy, Foundry and Welding, Metal Forming, Heat Treatment, Corrosion, NDT, Transport Phenomena, Testing of Materials. Metallurgical Engineering involves all of the processes which transform precursor materials into final engineered products adapted to human needs.
