What do metallurgical engineering graduates do?

Metallic materials are found in all areas of the world, and are in use in virtually every industry. As a result, metallurgical engineering is a broad discipline with numerous and widely-diversified career opportunities. Our graduates have secured employment in areas that include: aerospace (Boeing, G.E. Jet Engine Division), automotive (Ford and G.M.), heavy equipment (Caterpillar, John Deere), electronics (Texas Instruments, Honeywell), metals production (AK Steel, Nucor, Chaparral Steel, Alcoa), metals casting (Wagner Castings, Wells Manufacturing), heat treatment (Paulo Products, Lindberg), and a variety of others. They work for small firms in small towns, large corporations in major cities, and government laboratories and agencies, such as NASA, Los Alamos, the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board. We even have graduates doing corrosion work for Exxon-Mobil and Campbell's Soup. With one job in four in the United States being directly involved with the manufacture or use of metal, the choices and opportunities are virtually unlimited.
