Mining Engineering
Sharing is caring
Mining engineering is related to minerals. Mining engineering mainly deals with the extraction of minerals from earth using science and technology. Mining engineering is associated with many other disciplines, such as geology, mineral processing, and metallurgy, geotechnical engineering and surveying. A mining engineer may manage any phase of mining operations – from exploration and discovery of the mineral resource, through a feasibility study, mine design, development of plans, production and operations to mine closure. Mining engineers are also making sure that the environmental effects of mining extraction should be minimized. The handling of waste product from mining is also one major problem mining engineers are solving.
