At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

Students will:

A.  Be able to describe the basic properties of all ferrous

   metals.

B.  Be able to describe the process of mining, extraction and refining of

   ores to metals.

C.  Identify metals using the periodical table of

   elements based on weights and atomic numbers.

D.  Use handout materials, text and library materials to do

   research on metallurgical alloys.

E.  Perform basic lab experiments plotting data, measurements

   of metal density and volumes, for purposes of identifying

   metals.
