Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Dept.

This is a compulsory course design to provide an understanding of the principles of corrosion of Engineering Materials. The course content will include the principles of corrosion and oxidation, Thermodynamics and kinetics of electrochemical corrosion, Types of corrosion, structures of metals and alloys, surface finishing processes, Discussion of methods of corrosion controls, Effects of mechanical factors on corrosion

This course is one of the major courses in metallurgical engineering; it is one of the course that is primarily design to expose the students to metallurgical processes. Students will be provided with hands-on training on heat treatment principle technologies. The major focus is to train and guide the student on how to practice it so as to be independent because the course is basically practical. Topics to be covered include Principles of heat treatment, pearlite transformation, Bainite transformation, martensite transformation, tempering, heat treatment processes: annealing, normalising, hardening, interrupted quenching of plain carbon steel, austempering, martempering.

This course focuses on general physiology designed primarily for students in biology and other related- disciplines. Topics to be covered include physical and chemical processes in animal and plant physiology including homeostasis; movement of materials across cell membranes; physiological principles of nutrition; food components such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and vitamins. Other topics include enzyme systems; nervous and hormonal communications.

This course is about the shaping of metals and alloys by pressure. It is designed primarily for students in metallurgical and materials engineering discipline. However, it also meets the need of students in mechanical engineering who are interested in the concept of plastic deformation of materials and the technology of metal shaping by pressure. Methods of forming materials into useful shapes by the application of loads on solid metals and alloys are discussed alongside the ultimate rupture or fracture of the material. As a practical course, the focus is to impart useful skills on the students in order to enhance their understanding of metal/ material shaping by pressure, and prepare them for other specialised applications to be encountered in high-tech. manufacturing processes. Topics to be covered include texturing, principles of hot and cold working of metals, structural and property changes during hot and cold working of metals /alloys, concept of plastic deformation, and the technology of metal rolling, forging, extrusion, sheet drawing, wire drawing and the peculiarities of reheating furnaces

This course is compulsory; the course is designed primarily for students in metallurgical and materials engineering disciplines as a prerequisite condition in partial fulfilment of the conditions for the award of Bachelor of Engineering degrees in the discipline.

This course is designed for students in the field of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering to acquire quality knowledge in the area of design and production of metals and alloys. However, students studying mechanical and production engineering are not exempted from the benefits offered by this course as it provides sound knowledge and a dependable background on how most engineering parts are produced. In fact, the sustainability of any manufacturing industry depends on the knowledge of foundry. This is simply because most parts needed in operation and maintenance is economically produced via foundry technology. The course is nourished with practical problems and solutions that will enhance the skill of the students especially those that are willing to be self-reliant in future. The course is an entrepreneurship course that avail the student the opportunity of becoming self-employed after they might have graduated from the University. Topics to be covered in the course include: melting practice; casting processes; gating systems; fluidity; risering; solidification of metals/alloys; casting defects; and casting design

Require no course description and/or content. Programme is executed in collaboration with industries as it is an exposure of students to what practically take place in typical industrial settings. It is an avenue to marry the theoretical knowledge acquired in the classroom with the industrial knowhow.
