Fourth Year—Mechanical Engineering Course
Starting Date: 14 March 1966
iTutorial, laboratory
or
practice class. 2Plus tutorials to be arranged.METALLURGICAL ENGINEERING
The Metallurgy department, in association with the Mining department, provides the major subjects in the Metallurgical Engineering degree course which is a means of entering a professional career in either the primary production of metals, the engineering utilization of metals and alloys, or research and developmental projects in metal production, fabrica- tion and application. For many years the Australian demand for graduates in Metallurgical Engineering has exceeded the supply, and there is ample evidence that this situation is likely to continue for an extended period, especially in view of the rapidly growing impor- tance of metals
in
regard to the nation's industrial development and future prospects for export markets.In 1882. studies
in
Metallurgy as associated with Mining were introduced as part of an.option in the fourth year of the newly created degree course in Civil Engineering. This arrangement continued until lgoi when the Mining Engineering degree course was intro- duced; from this date until 192з, Metallurgy was included in the Mining Engineering course. In 1924 the Metallurgical Engineering degree course was introduced and the first chair in Metallurgy in an Australian university was established. The course has been in existence continuously since 1924.
The Baillieu Laboratory, a post-graduate section of the Metallurgy school, was established in 1946. In the same year the Physical Metallurgy section of the C.S.LR.O. was created as an integral part of the Baillieu Laboratory. Since 1952 an Industrial Research Section has. been built up in the Metallurgy department.
54
The staff of the Metallurgy department comprises thirteen full-time teaching officers and five full-time research officers. In addition there are five full-time members of C.S.LR.O.
in the Baillieu Laboratory. The department's laboratories and offices are in a separate building adjacent to the Engineering school.
The teaching and research activities of the department are classified under two main headings of Materials Science and Materials Processing. There are, of course, numerous instances where overlap occurs, and this ensures coherence in the department's contribu- tions to the work of not only the Engineering Faculty, but also the Faculties of Science, Applied Science, Dental Science, and Architecture.
Both the undergraduate and post-graduate activities in Materials Science include a treatment of non-metallic substances along with the study of metals and alloys. In this way both the students and the staff gain a deeper understanding of metals while at the same time acquiring breadth in their appreciation of other materials such as ceramics, furnace linings, and plastics. Emphasis is placed on the importance of interatomic bond type and crystal structure as affecting the physical and mechanical properties of all materials, with particular reference to metals and composite materials which incorporate metals.
In the field of Materials Processing the Metallurgy department deals with chemical processes such as roasting, smelting, electrolytic extraction and refining, ion exchange systems, and distillation methods. The physical operations of crushing. grinding and mineral separations are studied in the Mining department. The chemical or extraction metallurgy section of the Metallurgy department's work includes both the physical chemistry of processes and the chemical engineering aspects of the commercial production of metals.
The Metallurgical Engineering degree course lays emphasis on mathematics and basic scientific studies in the first two years. During the third and fourth years the emphasis shifts towards the applications of scientific principles and the examination of the main technological features of materials and their processing.
The Metallurgy department also offers major subjects in Metallurgy courses conducted under the auspices of the Faculties of Science and Applied Science.
Post-graduate studies, with emphasis on experimental research, are features of the department's activities: Graduate students may be enrolled as candidates for the degrees of master of Engineering Science, master of Science, or doctor of Philosophy. - Persons with considerable experience in metallurgical research and development may present as candi- dates for the more senior degrees of master of Engineering, doctor of Science or doctor of Engineering.
The Metallurgical Engineering course is recognized by The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, and The Institution of Engineers, Australia. It also has appreciable standing in connection with the professional requirements for membership of The Institu•
tion of Metallurgists, London.

MINING ENGINEERING AND MINERAL ENGINEERING TheMining department, in association with the Metallurgy department, offers a range of courses which lead to operating or research positions within the mining, mineral and metallurgical industries, or in teaching, research or government establishments associated with these industries.
The number of students taking these courses is small, and is in fact inadequate to supply the Australian demand for graduates in these fields of work. This is unfortunate, because many openings exist for satisfying, constructive and well-rewarded employment in the mining, mineral and metallurgical industries. The mineral industries of Australia must progress because the development of the country depends to a great extent on an expanding production and use of mineral raw materials of all kinds.
The smallness of the number of students enrolling for these courses can only be due to lack of knowledge of the excellent opportunities for graduates in the fields of mining.
mineral processing and metallurgy.
At the University of Melbourne in 1874-5 an option was introduced in the third year of the course leading to the certificate of Civil Engineer, which allowed students to specialize in either civil or mining engineering. This represented the first instruction in mining to be given in any Australian university. When a degree course in Civil Engineering was introduced in 1882, a similar option was retained in the fourth year. In igoi a separate degree (В.М.Е.) in Mining Engineering was introduced.
Until 1924 teaching of mining was administered within a single department of Engineer- ing, and from 1924 to 1949, within the department of Metallurgy. In 1949 a separate department of Mining was established. A new building for this department erected in 1954 was occupied in 1955.
Since 1934 an Ore Dressing Section of C.S.I.R.O. has been associated with the department, conducting research on the treatment of Australian ores. Currently the staff of this section numbers seventeen.
The Mining department has two major fields of interest and responsibility which are closely related to each other.
1. The science and engineering practice of mining by underground, open cut and alluvial methods. This includes such topics as prospecting, exploration and development of mineral resources; drilling, blasting and rock breaking, ore and coal winning; transport, haulage, ventilation and drainage in mines; rock mechanics and mine design; mining equipment mine sampling and valuation; mineral economics and mine management.
A major research interest is rock drilling and the allied field of rock mechanics.
2. The science and engineering practice of mineral processing, and in particular of mineral dressing. This includes such topics as crushing and grinding; sampling; screening and classifying; concentrating minerals by gravity, centrifugal, magnetic, electrostatic, flotation and other methods. Also included are solid-liquid separation processes;
chemical leaching of ores; high temperature reactions; treatment plant design; operational control, mineral economics and management.
58
Research interests cover many of these fields, with particular emphasis on the surface chemistry of mineral-water systems involved in flotation concentration and solid-liquid separation processes, and on electrostatic methods of concentration.
The Mining department offers courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Engineering In Mining Engineering, and in Mineral Engineering.
In the Mining Engineering course, the first two years lay a foundation of chemistry.
physics, mathematics and general engineering subjects. The later years include additional general engineering, statistics, mine surveying, mining geology, mining, mining design, mineral processing, mineral economics and mine management. Graduates find employment in underground mining and open cutting and in civil tunnelling and excavation projects.
The roads to management or to technical specialization lie open to them. The mining degree gives partial exemption from examinations for Mine Manager's certificates and similar certificates in most States of Australia.
In the Mineral Engineering course the emphasis is on the processing of all types of mineral raw materials by a variety of physical and chemical processes. Graduates can find.
employment in the field of metallic mineral beneficiation or in the non-metallic industries producing lime, cement, asbestos, plaster, clay and ceramic products: The first two years lay a foundation of physics, chemistry, mathematics, geology, general engineering and materials science, and are almost identical with the first two years of the Metallurgical Engineering course. Later years stress the science and technology of the chemical and physical processing of minerals, with additional general engineering, statistics, mineralogy, geochemistry, mining, mineral economics and mineral industry management. This course should appeal to students with an interest in minerals who desire to become engineers rather than field geologists, and to those having an interest in the applications of physics or chemistry to the engineering processing of mineral raw materials. Opportunities exist both in operation-management and in research.
The Mining department also provides an introductory course in Mining for Science students majoring in Geology, and is responsible for Topics in Mineral Processing included in the subjects Metallurgy Parts 'I, II and III, which. are studied by students of Metal- lurgical Engineering, Science or Applied Science.
Post Graduate training and research within the department, in mining or in mineral processing, can lead to the higher degrees of master of Engineering Science, or master of Science, and doctor of Philosophy. There is also available the professional degree of master of Engineering in Mining Engineering or Mineral Engineering.

SURVEYING
The department of Surveying was established in 1g4g: Its function is to impart knowledge of the methods and instruments used in making measurements of natural and artificial features so that their absolute or relative positions can be accurately determined and if necessary shown on a plan or map. As such, the department continues and furthers the work commenced within the ` University when the -first lecturer in Surveying was appointed in 1861.
The department has three full-time and two part-time lecturers on its staff and provides instruction for students pursuing degree courses designed to fit them for careers in which a knowledge of Surveying is one of the essentials.
The course leading to the degree of bachelor of Surveying is of four years duration.
The first year is common to most Engineering courses and consists of a basic training in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering and Chemistry. Studies in the second and subsequent years become progressively more .specialized in the fields of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and of course, Sшveying.
The fourth year is devoted almost exclusively to the study of Surveying including Astronomy, Geodesy and Photogrammetry, and includes short courses in the legal aspects of Surveying as well as Town Planning.
The degree of bachelor of Surveying was conferred for the first time in 1953, and that of master of Surveying in 1g6o.
Graduates in Surveying who wish to obtain a Licence to practise as cadastral surveyors on title definition in Victoria are exempted from nearly all the examinations of the Surveyors' Board of Victoria, but are obliged to serve between fifteen and eighteen.months under articles of apprenticeship with a licensed surveyor on land boundary definition. The Surveyors' Board gives some credit for cadastral work performed under a licensed surveyor during University vacations.
A degree in Surveying qualifies the graduate for Associate Membership of the Institution of Surveyors, Australia, and, after two years professional experience such an Associate can progress to Corporate Membership. Undergraduates are eligible for Student Membership.
Graduates are encouraged to continue their studies and present themselves as candidates for the degrees of master of Surveying Science, master of Surveying or the degree of doctor of Philosophy.
