Description
Pertaining to the Metallurgical Engineering Department. Globalization has led to the insertion of the national industry in the world market, not only in the traditional supply/demand/price scheme, but also in the fulfillment of quality standards and care for the environment. Such requirements demand that these activities be carried out in an environment characterized mainly by adaptation to change. Given that Chile is and will continue to be a mining country by excellence in the coming decades, professionals who join the sector must have, in addition to a solid technical background, flexibility and the ability to work in multidisciplinary and multicultural environments. This is precisely the imprint that defines the graduates of Mining Engineering at UdeC.
