BA/BS in B.E. Metallurgical Engineering

The Bachelor of Engineering in Metallurgical Engineering is run by the Department of Metallurgical Engineering at Yangon Technological University. The department was founded in the mid-1950s within the engineering faculty of Rangoon University, and the B.E. (Metallurgy) title replaced the earlier B.Sc. (Engineering) after the education system changed in 1964. The undergraduate course lasts six years and begins with a pre-engineering year. The department also offers a master's course, a doctoral programme and a part-time evening diploma, and it names its aim as producing well-qualified, capable metallurgical and materials engineers. The curriculum page lists semester-by-semester courses with lecture, tutorial and practical hours, face-to-face and self-learning time, and credit values. Class sizes are small, with an annual intake of about twenty students.
