About steeluniversity

steeluniversity, an initiative of World Steel Association, is an industry university delivering education and training to current and future employees of steel companies and related businesses. The goal of steeluniversity is to inspire and motivate students and steel industry people about the value of working in the steel industry so as to lead change for realising a more sustainable industry that serves a more sustainable world.

steeluniversity provides a suite of learning opportunities to gain more knowledge of how steel is made, how it is used in consumer products and impacts our daily lives. The steeluniversity website, which we call learning+, delivers a comprehensive package of online learning for steel manufacturing, steel metallurgy, steel applications, environment and safety.  The learning content is delivered in an interactive, informative, and entertaining way.

The steeluniversity learning+ website provides an opportunity to study and apply the basic scientific, metallurgical and engineering principles, thermodynamics and kinetics that underpin the production and use of steel. At its heart is a series of realistic, game-like simulations of the main steelmaking operations.

The steeluniversity learning+ website is intended for use by undergraduate and graduate students along with steel company employees and people within the steel industry supply chain. Professors, instructors, teachers and trainers will also benefit from the use of steeluniversity learning+ to organise and supplement instruction for their students.

The steeluniversity learning+ website can be used for self-motivated or directed study. The simulations can be used in competition mode, between individuals or teams. The online learning may be effectively combined with instructor-led training to provide students a truly interactive experience.
