Institut Teknologi Bandung

Description
The Department of Metallurgical Engineering was officially opened at ITB in April 2016, although Metallurgical Engineering education has been taught for a long time as a particular field in the Mining Engineering Masters Study Program.

Excellence 
During its development, the Metallurgical Engineering Masters Study Program has obtained B accreditation from BAN-PT (2018-2023).

Objectives
The educational objectives of the Department of Metallurgical Engineering are to produce masters in metallurgy who:

1. Have high integrity and personality and have the ability to guide the group and the profession, as well as have professional ethics, especially in efforts to increase the added value of mining products through domestic processing and refining.
2. Having the ability to provide input at the design and production stages in the metallurgical industry, especially about demands for process efficiency, increasing productivity, improving product quality, and minimizing negative impacts on the environment.
3. Have the ability to develop research science and technology in solving problems related to metallurgical design and processes and produce innovations in metallurgical science and technology development.

Research Topics
In the Department of Metallurgical Engineering (MG-ITB), students will learn the principles and applications of physics, mathematics, and chemistry as well as engineering for:

1. Separating the valuable minerals from the impurities in the ore (product of mining) so that it is technically and economically feasible to be extracted. This includes coal processing and washing, extracting valuable metals, and smelting and refining them into pure metals, such as gold, silver, tin, copper, aluminum, and iron.
2. Combining metals with other elements to form metal alloys, e.g., steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, brass, nickel alloys, and superalloys.
3. Metal forming and improving the microstructure of metal alloys through heat treatment to obtain the required properties in the application.
4. The relationship between microstructure and the properties of metals and their alloys, for example, the effect of carbide particles on steel's strength and corrosion resistance.

Career Prospect
Metallurgical Engineering alumni have worked in various fields of work such as in the mining industry (PT. Freeport, PT. Aneka Tambang, PT. Newmont Nusa Tenggara, PT. Kaltim Prima Coal, PT. Berau Coal, cement industry), steel industry (PT. Krakatau Steel/Posco), metal extraction industry (PT. VALE, PT. Aneka Tambang, PT. Timah, PT. INALUM, PT. Smelting), manufacturing, oil, and gas industry (PT. PERTAMINA, PT. Halliburton), consulting services company, marketing, government (tekMIRA), research institutes (BRIN), and universities (ITSB, ITERA).
