Becoming a metallurgist

[180drft]

Just wondering if anyone is working or studying in the field of metallurgy and can supply any type of info in this field?

Im not sure where to start but google says take chemical engineering... Is this how I start towards becoming a metallurgist?

Check out Materials Engineering. The U of A runs a excellent program on it.

I am not a Mat Eng. myself but my boss is and he does quite well working at a chemical plant. A lot of it is project management dealing with vessel and piping replacements and installations.

Take mechanical engineering and choose materials/metallurgical courses for all your technical electives. If you do that and get some metallurgical/materials internships, you can easily transition into that field.

Just my 2 cents.
