Required Education
Mining engineers need at least a bachelor's degree to search for a job and many research positions require a master's degree or doctorate. Some of the courses which the student need to cover are a mining operation, geology, mine design, metallurgy, and environmental reclamation. Geology, physics, chemistry, environmental studies, mathematics, and economics are the fundamentals of mining engineering studies. Coursework can include rock fragmentation and mechanics, mine design, mine ventilation, surveying, mineral processing, and resource law. Few subjects which fall into this are:
- Ventilation
- Rock Mechanics
- Mine Planning
- Materials Handling
- Drilling and Blasting
- Minerals Processing
- Ore Reserve Analysis
- Industrial Management
- Mine Cost Engineering
- Mine Health and Safety
- Environmental Aspects of Mining
- Design of Engineering Structures
