Research
There are tremendous opportunities for researchers in both the Metallurgical and Materials Engineering and the Materials Science programs at Mines to meet the exciting demands for the development and processing of new materials, and to extend the range of service and application of existing and traditional materials. The graduate students in materials at Mines actively participate in six research centers on the Mines campus. The following centers promote interaction between students and faculty from different departments and interested scientists and engineers from industry and government agencies:

  • Colorado Center for Advanced Ceramics
  • Center for Welding, Joining and Coatings Research
  • Advanced Steel Processing and Products Research Center
  • Advanced Coatings and Surface Engineering Laboratory
  • W.J. Kroll Institute for Extractive Metallurgy
  • Center for Solar and Electronic Materials

    Degree Program
    This program emphasizes the processing and properties of traditional and new materials with specialization in one of the primary areas:
  • Physical and Mechanical Metallurgy
  • Ceramic Engineering
  • Physiochemical Processing of Materials (including extractive metallurgy and industrial waste processing)

    Doctor of Philosophy
    This program requires 42 semester hours of coursework and 30 semester hours of research after the bachelor's degree. A minimum of 12 course credits are required in a minor field of study. Though there is no qualifying examination, a comprehensive examination is required consisting of written and oral parts in one of the three primary areas. A written document on the background and rationale of the primary research focus is part of the examination. Successful defense of a dissertation on original scientific research completes the program.
