Mining Engineering Concentration:

Mining engineers design, plan, and supervise surface and underground mines to unearth the minerals economically and safely for further processing and human utilization. Mining engineers design layouts for surface and underground mines, prepare short and long range mine plans, schedule equipment, design blast patterns for rock fragmentation and excavation, design ventilation plans for underground mines, monitor safety of personals and equipment, optimize processes. Mining utilizes world’s largest trucks and excavation equipment and mining engineers design mine layouts to use these equipment effectively.
