Mining is the business, science and engineering of creating a profitable mining operation. Mining engineers design, develop and implement the processes and technologies for the extraction of minerals from the earth in a safe way while minimizing the impact on the environment.
Mining engineers study math, physics, geology, economics, environment and a mix of applied engineering subjects like materials handling, rock fragmentation, ventilation, mining methods and mineral processing. This program offers work term employments and project-oriented courses, which provides you with hands-on experience. Mining engineers are often involved in the design of various processes, making them adaptable and creative problem solvers.
Did you know that this program was established in 1871, making it the oldest mining engineering program in Canada and the second oldest in North America?
After studying mining engineering, you can go on to exciting careers in mining operations, mining investment firms, consulting companies, and mining equipment manufacturers. You can gain valuable experience and industry contacts through the co-op program. Students are often able to find a job with one of their co-op placement companies.
