Surface gold mine with haul truck in foreground, in Kalgoorlie, Australia. Mining in the engineering discipline is the extraction of minerals from the ground. Mining engineering is associated with many other disciplines, such as mineral processing, exploration, excavation, geology, metallurgy, geotechnical engineering and surveying.
A school of mines (or mining school) is an engineering school, often established in the 18th and 19th centuries, that originally focused on mining engineering and applied science. Most have been integrated within larger constructs such as mineral engineering , some no longer focusing primarily on mining subjects, while retaining the name.
The American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME) is a professional association for mining and metallurgy, with over 145,000 members. [1] The association was founded in 1871 by 22 mining engineers in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania , and was one of the first national engineering societies in the country.
The school's fight song, "The Mining Engineer", the first two verses of which are still sung today, was established on campus by 1885. [9] Following the 1880s, the School of Mines transitioned to become a 4-year university, removing its assaying certificate program. Around this time, silver and blue began to be seen as the official school colors.
Camborne School of Mines has an international reputation in mining, tunnelling, mineralogy, mineral economics, geology, geophysics and geochemistry.CSM's international reputation dates back to the 19th century when with new deposits found around the world CSM graduates began to seek employment overseas and by the 20th century, graduates were in most of the world's major mining areas such as ...
Lawrence Scientific School provided the first three years of engineering instruction for the degree of mining engineer. During their fourth year, students in the mining school completed the following courses: [4] Economical Geology and the Phenomena of Veins; Mining Machinery and the Exploitation of Mines; General and Practical Metallurgy; Assaying
The geoscientific collections of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg are among the ten oldest as well as most extensive geoscientific and mining collections in the world. They serve practical student education and training, complement research, and still embody enormous scientific potential today.
The Mining Engineering degree in 2007 combined with University of New South Wales and University of Queensland to form the industry-funded Minerals Education Australia (MEA) Program. The University of Adelaide joined MEA in 2011.
