Historical position
Speaking of metallurgical engineering, it can be traced back to the bronze age of Shang and Zhou Dynasties in China. At that time, rich copper smelting technology became the source of China metallurgical industry, and quickly pushed the whole bronze technology to a higher stage, establishing the most brilliant "bronze civilization" in the world.
After that, China took the lead in making a breakthrough in metallurgical technology in the world: people gradually mastered the high-temperature technology and advanced metallurgical treatment technology needed for metal smelting in the long smelting process. Such as softening treatment technology, steel explosion technology, steel-making technology, steel casting technology and so on. In the15th century, in the middle of the Ming dynasty, China began to produce zinc in large quantities. Tiangong Hardware in Song Dynasty recorded the method of smelting "Japanese lead" (that is, zinc) by sealed heating. The Ming Dynasty's "Yongle Bao Tong" coins also had a high zinc content. Zinc smelting didn't begin in Europe until the 18th century. In addition, Song's Heavenly Creations recorded many achievements of China's ancient metallurgical technology, such as the continuous production process of smelting pig iron and wrought iron, and the heat treatment process of steel such as annealing, normalizing and quenching.
Since the founding of New China, the state has always attached great importance to the development of metallurgical industry. China's steel output continuously ranks in the forefront of the world, showing the country's attention and good momentum of rapid and stable development. It is true that the progress of modern science and technology has given birth to the birth and application of some high-tech new materials. However, the advantages and characteristics of metallurgical materials will still be incomparable and irreplaceable by other materials for a long time to come.

Occupational characteristics
professional field
Metallurgical engineering is an applied discipline to study the extraction and processing of steel or non-ferrous metal materials from ores, and to cultivate senior professionals in metallurgical engineering fields such as scientific research and development, engineering design and implementation, technical research and technical transformation, popularization and application of new technologies, engineering planning, metallurgical enterprise management, etc.
The combination of high technology and discipline development is a major feature of this major. Mainly reflected in the following two aspects: first, English course is to meet the requirements of related industries for high-quality metallurgical materials to the greatest extent through the optimization of metallurgical technology and the development of new technologies; The second is to minimize the consumption of resources and energy in metallurgical production and reduce environmental pollution. This is also the frontier main attack direction of this major. Considering the low level of clean production in China metallurgical industry and the unique characteristics of diversified composite ore resources, this major should not only devote itself to the comprehensive technology of "four modernizations" (that is, reduction, recycling, recycling and harmlessness) of waste in the process, but also evaluate and guide the smelting technology of composite ore from the environmental and economic significance, and develop the comprehensive utilization technology of composite ore under this principle, and finally realize the ecological production of high-quality metallurgical materials in China.
research field
According to the above characteristics, metallurgical engineering has three major research directions. 1. Physical and chemical direction of metallurgy: The study contents include new theories and methods of metallurgy, metallurgy and physical chemistry of materials, physical chemistry of material preparation, metallurgy and energy electrochemistry. 2.

Career prospects
Only more than 20 colleges and universities in China offer this major, and the number of professionals trained each year is very limited, and the market demand is particularly large. Relevant statistics show that the market demand of metallurgical engineering professionals is 10 times of the actual number of graduates. Such a large market demand also provides students with broad employment prospects.
Because students majoring in metallurgical engineering have a broad foundation, solid theory and comprehensive skills, they also have knowledge and skills in metallurgy and metal material processing. In addition, the metallurgical industry belongs to one of the basic and pillar industries of the national economy, and graduates have a wide range of employment choices and strong adaptability. Graduates can go to the production, scientific research and management departments of metallurgy, chemical industry, materials, environmental protection and related industries to engage in production technology management, engineering design, technology development, research and development of new structural materials and functional materials, and also engage in professional teaching in junior colleges and higher vocational colleges. "I feel that college students majoring in steel metallurgy are too popular now." At a graduate double election meeting held by Northeastern University in 2005, a graduate majoring in iron and steel metallurgy described the good employment opportunities of graduates like this. Indeed, the vigorous construction of the motherland needs a large number of metallurgical engineering professionals, and many iron and steel metallurgical and non-ferrous metal metallurgical enterprises are good places for students to show their talents.
With the rapid development of modern science and technology, this major also puts forward higher requirements for the comprehensive quality of employees, such as the wide application of computer technology in metallurgical engineering, which enables students to gradually contact and master rich and practical computer knowledge in universities. In addition, the development of this field at home and the exchange of foreign advanced technology are becoming more and more frequent, which also puts forward quite high requirements for students' foreign language use.
