| Abstract Scope |
The University of Utah has implemented innovations in metallurgical engineering education and curriculum development that will be discussed in this presentation.
One example of a set of innovations includes a variety of tools in hydrometallurgy. This set of innovation includes the development of a textbook for hydrometallurgy that is directly connected, organized, and synchronized with class lectures, assignments, and tests. The course is divided into modules that correspond with chapters in the textbook. The course labs are sequenced to correspond with lectures. Data from labs are used to calculate design parameters for a design project.
In 2017 the Department of Metallurgical Engineering revised its curriculum in an effort to modernize and allow students more scheduling and course selection flexibility. This curriculum development included the addition of six areas of emphasis from among which the students must choose one as part of the metallurgical engineering B.S. degree requirements. |
