Introduction of mining engineering specialty in Curtin University, Australia

According to academic institutions, mining is very important in the economy of Western Australia and even Australia as a whole, and mining engineers are indispensable in this industry. Therefore, many China students study in Australia and choose mining engineering as their major. Curtin University's mining engineering course is dedicated to cultivating talents in this industry. Curtin University is located in the mineral-rich area of Western Australia, with many internship and employment opportunities, and the quality of its graduates is widely recognized by the world.

Graduates can become mining engineers, and they will be competent for the planning and guidance of mining all over the world. Graduates will also conduct some feasibility studies on mineral deposits to infer whether some undeveloped minerals have economic value and choose the best method to mine them. Many mining engineers eventually become mine managers, responsible for the management and operation of the whole mine.

Course information: undergraduates

Mining engineering is the most extensive knowledge in engineering disciplines, and students need to learn basic science and engineering knowledge. After graduation, you will master many fields of knowledge, including geology, surveying, electricity, civil engineering and mechanical engineering, computer and environmental science. You will also pay attention to some other aspects, such as environmental protection, health and safety, ventilation, pollution and human and resource management. With the progress of the course, students will gradually shift their focus to mining technology, including geotechnical mechanics, mining environmental engineering, raw material transportation, mining methods and mineral evaluation. You must complete 12 weeks paid internship and advanced first aid certificate course before graduation.

Graduate students should not only learn the core knowledge of mining, but also participate in at least one research project and finally submit a paper.
