Organization
The Henry Krumb School of Mines (HKSM) is an institute of
the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science
(SEAS) and consists of three units:
-
The Department
of Earth and Environmental Engineering (DEEE):
In the framework of the creation of the Earth
Institute at Columbia University, a major initiative
in the study of Earth, its environment and society, the
traditional programs of HKSM in mining, mineral processing,
and extractive metallurgy were expanded in the late nineties
to encompass environmental concerns related to the use of
materials, energy and water resources. DEEE is one of nine
departments of the Fu
Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science
(SEAS)
-
The interdepartmental program in Materials
Science and Engineering is the successor of the HKSM
traditional physical metallurgy program and focuses on the
design of advanced materials and the effects of composition
and processing on material properties.
-
The Earth
Engineering Center is the engineering unit of the Earth
Institute and is dedicated to directing engineering research
towards the reconfiguring of industrial activities with
full understanding of their environmental impacts. Several
faculty of the Henry Krumb School of Mines are associated
with the Earth Engineering Center.
The executive committee of
HKSM consists of the Dean of SEAS (Chair) and the heads of
the three HKSM components.
