Mining engineers are concerned with ore body discovery, mine design, equipment maintenance, transport systems, mineral recovery processes, mine decommissioning and environmental issues. Increasingly, mining engineers use computer planning software and modeling techniques, process control, robotics and mechanization to improve efficiency. Rock breakage and transport are also essential in other industrial environments, such as the design of dam foundations, tunnels and highway roadbeds.

To meet industrial requirements, the curriculum of Mining Engineering provides three closely associated options: Mining Engineering, Mine-Mechanical Engineering and Mineral Processing and Environmental Engineering. In addition to the fundamentals of mining, the Mining Engineering option includes elements of earthworks and excavation for both surface and underground. The Mine-Mechanical option produces mining engineers who understand the design, modification, automation, use, and maintenance of heavy and specialized equipment in the mining industry. The Mineral Processing and Environmental Engineering option covers subjects that include the design, operation, and control of ore treatment plants and the environmental control systems required by government regulations.

Mineral Engineering is a branch of Engineering Geoscience, the science of man's interaction with the earth: the use of math, physics, geology and environmental science to understand and shape the natural world around us.

Mineral Engineering trains graduates for careers in many different fields: mining, oil and gas exploration, hydroelectric projects, tunnels and subways, underground urban space and infrastructure.

Students in our interdisciplinary Mineral Engineering program take courses not only in mineral engineering, but also in civil, chemical, materials, and mechanical engineering, as well as math, physics, geology, and geophysics. You will have access to the best minds in academia today, and be part of a small, intimate program where everyone knows your name. You will have access to scholarships of up to $10,000 per year, and will get real-life experiences through yearly field camps and field trips, access to great summer jobs and PEY (Co-op) opportunities, and excellent career opportunities after you graduate.
