Mining Engineering studies the safe, economic and environmentally responsible recovery, processing, marketing and financial management of mineral resources. In simple terms, mining engineering is about the extraction of natural minerals from the earth and the processing of those minerals into more user-friendly forms with minimal environmental impact. The degree provides a comprehensive understanding of how complex mining systems work together to service the global need for minerals. It gives students a solid foundation in fundamental engineering principles and essential elements of mining, like geomechanics, ventilation, mine planning, and mineral processing. To get you work ready, you'll apply these skills through 60 days of approved industry training.
