 Return to: Programs in the College of Science
Mining engineering is perhaps the broadest of engineering disciplines, and our graduates are versatile problem solvers. The goals of the program are to train students so that graduates are qualified to perform the various functions typically exercised by mining engineers: plan, design, operate, and close mines. Engineering topics are selected to meet these objectives. Introduction to mine planning, design, operations and closure is pursued further in the mining methods course. Students are introduced to detailed mine design in the mine design courses. Engineering sciences underlying the mine planning, design, operation and closure requirements are studied in several basic areas: thermodynamics, electrical circuits, hydraulics, strength of materials, etc. The design experience is capped in the mine feasibility study, the senior capstone design course.

Program Learning Outcomes
Students will be able to:
- identify, formulate, and solve practical engineering problems. (QR)
- develop proficiency in engineering topics related to surface and underground mining. (CT)
- design a technically sound mine in an ethically, environmentally, and socially responsible manner.
- communicate plans, designs, and operational practices to mine representatives, regulators, and the public. (C)
- apply for entry-level positions in the operations and management of mines, or for graduate-level study in engineering.
Transfer to the University of Nevada, Reno
Use the transfer agreement and the degree planner (available by clicking  at the top right of this page) to build your plan for graduation with your advisor. Course substitutions not identified on the transfer agreement require UNR advisor approval.
If a major-to-major transfer agreement is not available for your transfer institution, please check the General Core agreement if available. If neither is available, access Transferology to assist in your planning.
