met/mat is a lucrative course as it is not applicable only in the steel industries but across all manufacturing and production companies including oil companies(by now u are jumping for joy ). infact with FG local content policy, most infrastructures and structures in the oil and gas subsector are partly or wholly designed and fabricated in Nigeria. with a growing manufacturing base and more factory setups, the services of met/mat engineers will soon surpass that of mechanical engineers. i can't give more details again, just know that the prospect is high. moreover you don't have to limit yourself to the Nigerian environment because if you know what you are doing (ask one of ur professors or academic adviser for the career prospect in that area), you may become a global player. One of my professors who taught us material science when i was in school used to go to the US as if he is going to their village. i think we had only one lecture with that man instead of 5-7 because of his frequent traveling.

Remember you have to graduate with good grades and be good upstairs to compete for plum job openings (a well rounded student, not just to pass ur exams). this is ur preparation and suffering time for the glory ahead.

wishing you luck with your studies.

We should have now recognized the fact that success in Nigeria doesn't depend on what one studied but the level of connections one has/have. That been said, OP in a developed economy, Met and Mat is the best Engineering profession because Engineers in other fields won't function properly without Met and Mat Engineers (or Materials Engineers).

Met and Mat Engineers ensures that Engineering materials are produced, they ensure produced materials conforms to standards, they also ensure materials do not fail in service. The major classification in Met and Mat Engineering is in two categories namely. Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Engineering.

Metallurgical Engineering deals with metals. It can be classified into Physical Metallurgy, Process (Chemical) Metallurgy and Mechanical Metallurgy. Physical metallurgy bridges the gap between Mechanical and Process Metallurgy.

The courses under physical Metallurgy includes Welding, Crystallography, Corrosion analysis, Phase transformation, phase diagrams (iron-carbon diagram), Foundry, Metallurgical Analysis and Nondestructive Testing, Furnace Technology, Materials Selection, etc.

Courses under Process (Chemical) Metallurgy includes Corrosion Engineering, Iron and steel making, Metallurgical Thermodynamics, Mineral Processing, Non-Ferrous Extractive Metallurgy, Process Design, etc.

Courses under Mechanical Metallurgy includes: Introduction to Mechanical Metallurgy, Mechanical working of metals, Powder Metallurgy, Fundamentals of Materials Testing, etc. It's under this Mech Metallurgy you will best Mechanical Engineers in the utilization of the stress-strain curve for failure analysis and you will further be taught topics on Stress, Strain, Fatigue, Creep failures, etc

Materials Engineering deals with other materials such as polymeric materials (thermoplastics, thermosets and rubbers), Ceramic Materials, Composites, Wood Materials and Biomaterials (for medical applications such as implants).

The bolded are the ones you should try and acquire much practical knowledge in while in school. Try in any way possible to gather much knowledge so that even when you graduate and you don't get job, you can easily set up your own business.

Mind you, concentrate more on welding, nondestructive testing and corrosion analysis if you are looking to get a job easily and/or ply a trade in your field. Welding is the most needed skills in fabrication industries and some oil and gas applications involving construction/production of pressure vessels, pipe joining, etc.

Here is a list of industries that require the services of Metallurgical and Materials Engineers. Iron/Steel industries, Materials testing labs, Powder metallurgy firms, Aluminium industries, polymer production firms, automobile industries, aviation industries, maritime firms that repair/maintain and construct ships and boats, ceramic factories, oil and gas industries, etc. Also, take note that the Military, Airforce and Navy greatly require the services of Metallurgical Engineers due to the fact that they work with many heavy metal equipment.

With all I've said, I want you not to get discouraged but focus on acquiring more practical skills rather than theories because when you possess more practical skills as a metallurgical engineer, you are more sellable than any other engineer. If you have a friend that owns a welding shop, buy your own welding gears and buy electrodes and make sure you learn enough skills in welding because with your skills and qualification you are hot cake. Don't mind people laughing at you in the beginning for they will envy you at the end.

I concur to what you wrote. I am a Materials and Metallurgical Engineering graduate and it did take me up to two months to get a job after graduation regardless of the fact that we are sorted out for but quite scarce to find that was my strong point. Make sure to you have internship experience it sure helped me. Cheers

You guys forgot to tell him that the course is very difficult too. Make sure you study very hard.

I did my internship in oil n gas, under corrosion control bt no job yet.. Its just d grace of God bro.

Good day, I am a graduate of the aforementioned University and department. I learnt welding and fabrication before I gained admission- that was the push to study the course as welding is an option in the Noble department of MME.
The department encompasses foundry,composites and new materials, nanotechnology, material selection, failure of materials and so on which is the bedrock of engineering.
Think of anything production it involves material.
You would see the likes of Dr seidu, Prof Alaneme, Prof Borode, Prof Oyetunji, Dr Alabi and a host of great lectures. Wish you best of Grace
