Mining engineering personnel work in environments such as large pits, underground excavations and processing plants, and these are environments not often experienced by the average citizen. The purpose of this course is to expose the student to a range of these mining environments and to consider the planning, design and testing associated with the mining operations.

This course will involve the student in site visits to some mining sites in order to understand the characteristics of commonly used mining techniques and equipment. The student will also participate in laboratory sessions related to the use of mine planning and design software, and the testing of soil, rock and concrete. This course contains a mandatory residential school.

The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course. On completion of this course, students should be able to:

1. Discuss mining operations, mine management, production, surveying, monitoring, geotechnical stability, waste-management, environmental rehabilitation, haulage, equipment, automation, maintenance and mining methods;
2. Describe and explain some commonly used mineral processing techniques and their efficiency and economic impact;
3. Apply commonly used mine planning and design software to plan material testing procedures for mine operations and applications including soil, rock, concrete and mine haulage roads;
4. Practice and enhance communication skills by presenting and writing results and outcomes;
5. Demonstrate appropriate safety procedures and workplace health and safety requirements;
6. Work effectively as a member, participating in completing tasks, and supporting others in achievement of team goals;
7. Undertake critical self-review and performance evaluation against course objectives as a primary means of tracking personal development needs and achievements.
