Mining engineering requires the broadest knowledge of sciences and other fields of engineering in its practice after graduation. The curriculum below prepares the student for a career in the field of mining.
The program educational objectives of the bachelor of science program in mining engineering take into consideration the university mission and the constituents’ needs by producing graduates who, in their first few years after graduation, will be able to:
Advance in their careers, adapting to new situations and emerging problems, through the application of general-purpose engineering skills and the core technical disciplines, analytical procedures, and design practices of the mining engineering profession.
Function ethically in a variety of professional roles such as mine planner, designer, production manager, mineral processing engineer, consultant, technical support representative and regulatory specialist.
Earn advanced degrees in mineral-related fields and also those fields that support the mineral industries such as business and law.
Apply their engineering training to the critical role mining engineers play in society with respect to health, safety, and the environment in tangible ways such as achieving professional licensure.
