English.Records of the department which has
historically taught mining, mineral engineering, metallurgical, and ceramic
engineeringThe School of Mining Engineering was established in 1893, although a
curriculum was not in place until a year later. The College of Mines was
established in 1898. Due to enrollment declines, the College of Mines was
incorporated into the College of Engineering as the School of Mineral
Engineering in 1947. In 1968 the School was reorganized into the Department of
Mining, Metallurgical, and Ceramic Engineering. The degree program in Mining
Engineering was dropped in 1976. The Department was renamed the Department of
Materials Science and Engineering in 1983. A single degree program was
established in 2002 after combining the metallugical and ceramic engineering
degree programs.

trip to the Silver Tip Mine, June & July 1913.
Biographical/Historical Note: The Silver Tip Claims are near Diablo, Washington. Historically
the area has been associated with the Thunder Creek Mining District which is
now part of the Wenatchee National Forest. The Silver Tip Claims is a surface
and underground mining operation. Mine operations consist of surface and
underground workings. There is one known shaft. Subsurface depth reaches a
maximum of 12 meters (40 feet). The ore mined is composed of galena and
sphalerite. There is one known ore vein 1 meters (4 feet) wide at a depth of 12
meters (39 feet) below the surface.
