The aim of this course is:

to provide a broad overview of the processes involved in a mining project as well as the linkages between those processes;
to provides an introduction to the generic concepts of systems engineering and develop models for how these techniques can be applied to the life cycle of a mining project;
to provide an introduction to electrical engineering and its application at mining sites, particularly the power, energy and communications requirements;
to provide a broad overview of surveying and geospatial engineering, as applied in the mining industry.
to identify the other major mining services, including pumping systems.
