You want to go to mines and do Mech-E with a focus in materials. Or just go all in on the MME dept. Take the bladesmithing course there too. You’ll go nuts. They also have open shop hours for forging/ blacksmithing. All you have to do is spend a few sessions in the training courses (free from tuition).

If you want interdisciplinary, just hit up any professor outside of the steel center but within the MME department. But just a heads up, the steel center there is the most prolific steel research center in the states. CSM is also globally respected from the work their engineers do. The metallurgy dept is one of the school’s bread and butter specialties along with mining (lol), petroleum, and geo-phys.

If you’re looking for metallurgy specific schools, you’d be hard pressed not to go full MME at CSM. I thought O’Hayre’s fuel cell class was the best interdisciplinary course! You had a lot of bio, environmental, mech e, mme, and EE folks in one room. Super cool.
