Faculty are actively engaged in research and publishing. Since 2010, members of the faculty have been awarded 522,000 in highly competitive National Science Foundation grants.

The success of our students in their education at UTEP and in building and sustaining a career is our primary interest. Graduates in metallurgical and materials engineering often pursue careers in industries such as oil & gas, R&D, aerospace, primary metals, and biomedical components. The job functions of our engineers include failure analysis, product development, quality assurance, and production management.

The MTE department is one of only eight accredited metallurgical degree granting institutions in the United States. Its core emphasis in metallurgy and materials provides students depth in structure-processing-property relationships.
