BSc. Mining Engineering – UET Lahore

Course name: BSc. Mining Engineering

Course overview: The curriculum for the Bachelor’s degree in Mining Engineering is broad-based in its contents and is designed to produce graduates who can cope with the wide range of tasks, which a mining engineer is called upon to perform. It offers basic subjects in science and engineering in the first two years, and in the later two years it covers the relevant subjects in mining operations, geology, mineral economics, management and mine environment in detail, to prepare the engineers to cope with the geotechnical and mineral extraction related problems. The graduate students are prepared to handle the geotechnical problems related to surface and underground excavations, the extraction & beneficiation of coal and other minerals, and other rock and mine/mineral related problems.

Students are encouraged to use computers in handling their projects related to the industry for their final year thesis. The department arranges field trips, practical training in mines, and mine survey camps in order to give them an insight in to the working of the mining industry.

A career in Mining Engineering possesses a good opportunity both in the private and government sector. With the current boom in the energy sector, and hence the mining activity, good job opportunities float in the private sector and government sector. Hundreds of mines in the private sector require mining engineers for the mineral development. The government sector, where the mining engineers hold key posts, includes the Directorate of Mines and Minerals, the Inspectorate of Mines, Pakistan Mineral Development Corporation (PMDC), Punjab Mineral Development Corporation (PUNJMIN), Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission and NDC.
