Is the mining engineering major good?

Mining engineering major is not very good for most people, because the employment scope of graduates of this major is relatively narrow, the employment is far from the city, and the work is still hard. Therefore, students should carefully consider the major of mining engineering. A friend of mine is a mining engineer. I asked him about this major before. Let me introduce it in detail.

0 1- personal feelings

My friend complained to me, in fact, he still regretted choosing the major of mining engineering, because the employment of this major is still relatively narrow. He also said that he planned not to work in this major in the future, so it was useless for him to study this major.

This major is really hard and unfriendly to girls. It is not recommended for most students to choose this major. I'm really interested in mining, and I can adapt to working in a harsh and hard environment in the future. Then you can consider mining engineering. Hard work is hard work, but the salary is considerable. The choice of institutions can be Central South University, Chongqing University, Northeastern University and China University of Mining and Technology. These four universities are all relatively good institutions, and their mining engineering majors are also excellent.

A friend said that their major is mainly to study the basic theories and methods of mining solid (coal, metal and nonmetal) deposits, including mining area planning, mining design, strata control technology, mine safety technology and engineering design. And most of them are engaged in the mining field. For example: the development planning of oil and natural gas, the design and mining of mines, the prevention of mine disasters such as landslides, the ventilation and safety technology of mines, etc.

This major is almost all boys, but few girls. Work is a little tiring, but the salary is higher. My friend told me that one of his graduates went to a mine to engage in mining engineering and learned a lot. It was really hard. If he can bear hardships, he can still study this major.

03— Specialized courses Mining engineering specialized courses include: mining, ground pressure and strata control, rock mechanics, mine ventilation and safety, mine engineering, electrotechnics, hydraulic transmission and mining machinery, management of mining enterprises, mining safety regulations, mining economics, mine gas prevention and control, mining engineering English, surveying, mining machinery and equipment, etc.

The courses of these majors are still relatively difficult, and there are many tasks in course design and practice. Moreover, at this stage, mining engineering has tended to mechanization and automation, so electrotechnics courses will also be included, which is also very critical.

04—— Employment Prospect The employment prospect of mining engineering major is very general and not very good. With more and more mineral resources being mined, there are fewer and fewer resources waiting for exploration, and the exploration process will be more difficult. In a certain period of time in the future, the recruitment demand of mining engineers may not be very optimistic.

Long-term field work

The employment position of graduates of this major is shown in the following figure.

05— Summary Generally speaking, mining engineering major is a hard industry, which is really not so good. I still hope that the students will seriously analyze and consider the application for this major.
