Mining Engineering

Mining Engineering is concerned with the extraction and processing of ores containing valuable minerals or metals. To become a mining engineer, you need a thorough knowledge of general engineering principles, followed by the study of courses specific to mining and mineral processing. These courses are designed to cover a wide and diverse range of subjects in order to meet the challenges that will faced in the mining industry. The program's cross-disciplinary approach to mining is aimed at reducing environmental impact during mining operations, increasing mineral extractions, and increasing the rate of land reclamation upon completion of mineral extraction.
