Program Overview

The curriculum is current, practical, intensive and broad-based. In the first year students receive training in basic science, math and communications as well as geology, mining methods, blasting, surveying and computer applications. In the second year the emphasis is on mining and the engineering and science skills required for the mining industry. The highlights of the second year include: a week of mine tours, a week’s exploration field school and completion of a mining project report.

The program is well supported by industry. This support exists through our advisory committee and through companies that hire our students for summer and graduate job opportunities.

Mine tours and field trips from one afternoon to seven days are an integral part of the program and reinforce knowledge gained in the classroom and laboratory. Most of the costs are covered by the program and endowment funds. Each year in March the department organizes a multi-day geology and mine tour.

Guest lectures, professional associations and attendance at conventions also provide opportunities for the students to interface with the mining industry.

Keys to success
Most students find the Mineral Exploration and Mining Technology program to be demanding and that it requires a lot of hard work. However, the program is also enjoyable and rewarding. We find that students who attend all their classes, work hard, complete assignments on time, and have a good, positive attitude toward the program and industry are the most successful.

Some of the keys to student success are:

  • An interest in science and engineering
  • Well-developed study habits
  • Attendance at all classes
  • Work hard from the beginning
  • A keen interest and positive attitude
  • Participation in classes and industry activities
