Technologie du génie métallurgique
On completion of this course, you will have developed skills in quality control, welding and metallurgical processes. You will be able to manufacture, produce and inspect metal products, either independently or under the supervision of an engineer.
About the program
Program objectives
The Metallurgical Engineering Technology trains individuals to become versatile metallurgical technicians capable of manufacturing, producing and controlling metallurgical products, working either independently or under the supervision of an engineer.
The teaching of in-depth knowledge of fundamental metallurgical principles as well as the scientific foundations required to give graduates more versatility in their careers. Thus, the graduate can easily integrate the job market in positions related to quality control, welding and metallurgical procedures. Generally speaking, the program also aims to develop students’ autonomy as well as written and oral communication skills, which help ensure successful careers for future technicians.

Metallurgical engineering technicians hold positions directly related to production. They work independently or with others on manufacturing, developing and controlling production processes for primary metals, fine-grade alloys, casting or hot and cold forming, heat or electrochemistry treatments.
Their knowledge gives them the opportunity to work their way up to supervision positions (foreperson, production superintendent) that require solid general training as well as good communication skills.
Welding is an area of specialty that is constantly changing and evolving in terms of the variety of welded alloys and the welding procedures used. The metallurgical knowledge and welding techniques acquired through the program prepare technicians to perform welding tasks using their knowledge of metallography, conduct mechanical and non-destructive testing and take part in designing welded constructions.
Mechanized welding technicians interpret professional standards and codes in addition to establishing welding and qualification procedures. These technicians boast a wide range of knowledge that qualifies them for a technical/commercial career in a field where demand is high.
One of the primary concerns of industries in general, particularly metallurgical industries, is ensuring quality control of the materials used as well of those of the products manufactured. This control can be physical, chemical, mechanical or non-destructive (radiography, ultrasound). The training received by materials testing technicians prepares them to work in the laboratories of research, quality control or development departments. Utmost attention to detail and accuracy is therefore required.
Metallurgist technicians often work their way up to senior technical and administrative positions, particularly in small and medium-sized companies.
