B.Tech in Mining Engineering

Mining is designing order for the extraction of minerals from underneath, above, or on the ground. Mining building is related to numerous different orders, for example, mineral preparation, investigation, uncovering, geography, and metallurgy, geotechnical designing and studying. A mining planner may manage any time of mining tasks, from examination and exposure of the mineral resources, through feasibility study, mine structure, improvement of plans, creation, and exercises to my decision.

With the process of mineral extraction, some amount of waste and uneconomic material are generated which are the primary source of pollution in the vicinity of mines. Mining activities by their nature cause a disturbance of the natural environment in and around which the minerals are located. Mining engineers must, therefore, be concerned not only with the production and processing of mineral commodities but also with the mitigation of damage to the environment both during and after mining as a result of the change in the mining area. Such Industries go through stringent laws to control the pollution and damage caused to the environment and is periodically governed by the concerned departments.

Objectives

The program educational objectives of the undergraduate program in mining engineering take into consideration the university mission and the constituents’ needs by producing graduates who, in their first few years after graduation, will be able to:

• Advance your career, adapt to new situations, and emerging problems, through the application of general-purpose engineering skills and basic technical disciplines, analytical procedures, and design practices. the profession of a mining engineer.
• Function ethically in a variety of professional roles such as mine planner, designer, production manager, mineral processing engineer, consultant, technical support representative, and regulatory specialist.
• Pursue advanced degrees in mineral-related fields and also those fields that support the mineral industries such as business and law.
• Utilize professional skills such as effective communication, teamwork, and leadership; and
• Demonstrate an understanding of the critical role mining engineers plays in society with respect to health, safety, and the environment in tangible ways such as achieving professional licensure.

Outcomes

The Department of Mining Engineering has seven student outcomes listed below:

• It identifies, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
• It applies engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
• It is to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
• An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
• An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
• An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
• An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
