School of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering offers a Master of Engineering in Mining Engineering provisionally accredited with Engineers Australia. Accreditation means that the degree is recognised through the Washington Accord, ensuring the portability of your qualification, and it also ensures that as a graduate your competence and skills meet … For more content click the Read More button below. This two-year degree is designed for those students with a Bachelor of Engineering degree wanting to enter the engineering profession, enabling them to expand their knowledge and skills in engineering management, acquire an in-depth knowledge of mining engineering specialisation, and gain technical expertise and a basis for international comparability and reciprocal recognition, facilitating the mobility of our engineering graduates. This degree in Mining Engineering is offered as a stream within the Master of Engineering program (program code 8621) and enables students to specialise, and gain depth of knowledge across a broad range of areas, including project management, mining engineering, geotechnical engineering, environmental management, mineral processing, mine ventilation, mine water and waste management. The stream is offered as a part of the 8621 program and requires the completion of 96 UoC of courses as follows: 12 UoC    Engineering Management18 UoC    Disciplinary core courses18 UoC    Disciplinary electives12 UoC    MEng project – research, advanced disciplinary6 UoC      Design, advanced disciplinary30 UoC    Advanced disciplinary electives In addition, as a part of the program, students are required to complete 60 days of Mining Engineering related Industrial Training (IT) to become exposed to industry and professional practice, and to apply their knowledge and skills in a professional setting. The stream allows students to gain and apply advanced mining engineering knowledge through substantial professional development and postgraduate elective choice across a broad range of areas within Mining Engineering. Students are able to apply this advanced knowledge and develop their research or independent investigation skills via the compulsory 12 UoC project. This project may be a research or capstone-based project. The Master of Mining Engineering provides advanced study in mining engineering, with various entry points and pathways of study depending on the student’s background.
