Overview

In 1871, the Department of Mining Engineering at McGill University was founded with Bernard J. Harrington (BA 1869, MA 1895, LLD 1899) as lecturer. Harrington, who had just received the new PhD designation from Yale University, would become a professor in the department in 1874, at which point Metallurgy, the study of metals, was introduced as part of the program in Mining Engineering. It took another 24 years before the name of the department was changed to Mining and Metallurgy. More than a century later, in 2007, the name was changed to Mining and Materials Engineering reflecting the evolution and expansion of the metallurgy program beyond metals encompassing all advanced materials.
