Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (MME) involves the study, innovation, design, implementation, and improvement of processes that transform mineral resources and metals into useful products that improve the quality of our lives. In the southern part of Odisha PMEC, Berhampur is the only government engineering college to have this field of engineering.  All metallurgists are artists, and their art is to make mankind’s development products from different minerals. Metallurgical engineers are responsible for producing metal and alloys. They can design and manufacture a wide range of products from diverse types of metals/non-metals or materials. They can taste the materials, determine their properties and plan the materials' manufacturing process to create a new product. They may also do research on ways to recycle waste into new materials. A metallurgical engineer is an engineer who designs, fabricates, tastes and operates all types of hearth-based furnaces in a mining and mineral processing plant. They primarily take raw materials and refine them to make them fit for everyday use. As materials engineers, we integrate chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology with engineering to address global challenges relevant to technology society and the environment. It is fundamental to other science and engineering. Metallurgical engineers do not only make things out of metal, but they also look for ways to make them better. They must be able to produce solutions for how to improve the properties of materials.
