Department of Mining, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering

Every innovation begins with an idea, and every idea has the potential to make an impact.

The Research and Extension Committee of the Department of Mining, Metallurgical, and Materials Engineering is proud to launch the maiden issue of DMMME FOUNDRY: Where Ideas Become Impact. More than a newsletter, it is a platform to celebrate discoveries, showcase innovations, recognize achievements, and share stories of collaboration that bring research beyond the laboratory and into the world.

As we turn the pages of this inaugural issue, may we find inspiration in what we have accomplished, discover opportunities in what lies ahead, and strengthen our collective effort to create knowledge and deliver meaningful impact to society.

Welcome to DMMME FOUNDRY, where we forge ideas, strengthen our foundations through collaboration, and refine research into innovations that shape a better future.

Welcome to the DMMME Course Demand Survey for the 1st Semester AY 2026-2027. This survey is specifically for students enrolled in the following programs:

• BS Materials Engineering 
• BS Mining Engineering 
• BS Metallurgical Engineering 
• other degree programs that may wish to enroll in elective courses offered by COE-DMMME 

Your participation is critical for slot allotment, curriculum compliance, and the prevention of schedule conflict.

This also serves as a sensing form for an Elective Course to be offered in Midyear 2026.

Dear STEM Teachers,

We are pleased to announce that UP DMMME has developed a self-paced course to provide basic knowledge in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). This course aims to equip STEM teachers in guiding students on their research projects related to MSE.

The course is composed of four (4) modules tackling the basics of MSE, synthesis and characterization, fabrication and performance testing, and different application-based materials. The course is accessible through UP’s learning management system, UVLé.

The learning materials are free of charge and may be accessed by registering through bit.ly/MSE4STEM-Reg or through the QR code provided below.

Congratulations to Doc Butch for being a newly-conferred UP Scientist III and making the Asian Scientist 100 list!
