Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Mining Engineering
University of Wollongong
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00102E
Mining engineers apply science, geoscience, engineering and technology to the efficient exploration and extraction of minerals from the earth, turning raw materials into valuable products. Mining engineers are also concerned with mining safety, where their knowledge of mine design and practices ensures the safety of workers, efficient extraction, and remediation at the end of a mines life. The first year of study allows you to learn more about engineering and its various fields. From your second year, you will focus on your chosen major where you will also have the option to complete a double major, combining two engineering disciplines. Available double major combinations include civil engineering and mining engineering; mechanical engineering and mining engineering; mining engineering and environmental engineering. The final sessions of the course are professionally oriented with the inclusion of subjects such as mine planning, occupational health and safety aspects of mining, mine water, ocean engineering, geostatistics and the environmental impact of mineral operations.
