Mining engineering is a broad profession, which embraces all required activities to facilitate the recovery of valuable minerals and products from the earthâ€™s crust for the benefit of humanity. It is one of the oldest engineering professions, which continues to grow in importance. It has often been said: â€œIf it can't be grown then it must be mined.â€ An adequate supply of mineral products at competitive prices is the life-blood of the continuing growth of industrialized nations and the foundation of the progress for the developing countries. The function of the mining engineer is to apply knowledge of pertinent scientific theory, engineering fundamentals, and improved technology to recover natural resources. Mining is a world-wide activity involving the extraction of non-metallics, metal ores of all kinds, and solid fuel and energy sources such as coal and nuclear materials. In addition to mineral extraction, the skills of mining engineers are also needed in a variety of fields where the earthâ€™s crust is utilized, such as the underground construction industry. The construction industry, with its requirements of developing earth (rock) systems, tunnels and underground chambers, and the hazardous waste disposal industry are examples of such applications. These are expanding needs, with a shortage of competent people; the mining engineer is well qualified to meet these needs. In addition to contributing toward achieving the educational objectives described in the CSM Graduate profile and the ABET Accreditation Criteria, the educational objectives which the Mining Engineering Department aspires to accomplish can be seen in the attributes of our graduates. The graduate is equipped with: A sound knowledge in the required basic sciences and engineering fundamentals; Knowledge and experience in the application of engineering principles to the exploitation of earthâ€™s resources and construction of earth (rock) systems in an engineering systems orientation and setting; Ability to solve complex mining and earth systems related problems; Capability for team work and decision making; Appreciation of the global role of minerals in the changing world; Desire for continuing education, intellectual and professional development, analysis and creativity; Self confidence and articulation, with high professional and ethical standards.
