@ with and 2 Why teach metallurgy? Metallurgy is unfashionable but still very important Society uses a lot of steel, aluminium, copper and other metals It is an excellent meso-scale enabling activity between science and engineering

@ with and 3 Interactive simulations can help student understanding have been written for aspects of steelmaking (see oral presentation by Ruth Hambleton) … and aluminium, demonstrated here.

@ with and 4 Simulation of yielding Note the interactivity

@ with and 5 Machine turning of Al Note the interactivity

@ with and 6 An example Alumatter

@ with and 7 Why bother with simulations? Enable inaccessible experiments Permit repeat experiments Enable learning by doing Encourage exploration of variables Can be competitive Collaboration with industry can be rewarding
