| Abstract Scope |
It has been a decreasing trend on programs for extractive metallurgy in the world. As the extractive metallurgy programs have been merged with the more general material science or other programs, the depth of the discipline is also changing. At the same time, the industry is also employing more students from other disciplines. Based on all these factors, a roadmap for the extractive metallurgy education and training is needed. This training is essential to the global challenges we have today within sustainability.
In Norway, with a vital Al, Mn and Si industry, the education program within extractive metallurgy has been important for the industry. The industry is partly located at the university and there are continued common research projects. This means that the students will have research based lecturing from this industry, and also that the students will be working in this industry through summer jobs and in research projects. |
