The long-term goal of the Metallurgical and Mineral Processing Engineering Department is to establish and foster international cooperation with foreign institutions.  The outcome of the cooperation is envisioned to be cooperative research projects, exchange of students and the exchange of faculty.  The themes of these research projects range from thiocyanate and selenium remediation, to cyanide recycling, to Platinum Group Metals reprocessing and recycling to strain evolution in moving weld pools.

The program continues cooperation between Montana Tech of the University of Montana and six international universities: 

	Akita University, Akita, Japan
	University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
	Bundesanstalt fur Materialforschung und-Prufung, Berlin, Germany
	University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
	Central Metallurgical Research and Development Institute, Cairo, Egypt
	Indian Institute of Technology-Kharagpur, Kharagpur, India

In addition, the department has also established contact with three other international universities: University of San Carlos, Cebu City, Philippines, University of Saint Thomas, Manila, Philippines, and Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.
