As a transportation specialist, you are constantly improving materials : super alloys for aircraft engines, titanium for spacecraft, stainless steel for railway cars, and lightweight, high strength steel for automobiles. As a communications specialist, you will help develop ultra-pure silicon for transistors, germanium for diodes, cesium for electron emitters, tungsten for hot filaments, and copper in low-cost abundance to knit these components into electronic communication circuits. As a nuclear specialist, you will concentrate on the production and fabrication of uranium fuel, the structure of the reactor, and the radiation shielding which make if safe. Whether you work on a nuclear reactor or develop new communication materials for easier linkage, you will find your career as a metallurgy engineer rewarding. |
