what is the importance of studying metallurgy in college?

Answer 1

It's a great field of study with many career opportunities in industry, engineering, business and if you are the type travel abroad.

It's not overly tough such as a major in chemistry but tough enough. It's also hands on, very hands on so be prepared to roll up your sleeves.

Good metallurgists make a mint and are in high demand.

Answer 2

Thre is no importance to studying metallurgy in college. I've never studied it or needed it. You can get along just fine even if you don't have the faintest idea what it is.

What I'm trying to say is...if you are writing a statement about your chosen course, forget all the "this is of vast global importance" stuff and write about why YOU want to study it. Tutors would far rather teach someone who's honest that they are fascinated by a subject, than someone who's found some deep and meaningful all-encompassing statement of importance on the internet.

Answer 3

Metallurgy, which was once a blacksmith's craft has now become an engineering specialty. Some universities have extended it to include other materials like ceramics, composites, and polymer alloys as well.

If one wants to make a career out of metals, a formal education in metallurgy is necessary.

Answer 4

It's only important if it's relevant to your career choice.
