Bachelor of Engineering in Mining Engineering

Laurentian University

Mining rocks Prepare for a career in discovery, exploration, and extraction thousands of feet below the earth. Mining engineering involves finding valuable metals and minerals and determining the best way to extract them safely and efficiently. Mining engineers use geology, physics, and engineering to design underground and surface mines. They also work to make mining processes better for workers and the environment. In class, you’ll learn the foundations of all areas of engineering and become an expert in mining engineering. You’ll explore courses in mine planning and design, underground and surface mining methods, geology, blasting and drilling, automation, ventilation, and much more. You’ll also understand the environmental, social, and economic impacts that influence decisions in mining and the community.
