Mineral Resource Engineering concentrates on the technical, environmental and economic aspects of the extraction and processing of the earth’s mineral resources. It has a strong industrial and research interest in underground and surface mining for coal, oil shales, metals, gold and industrial minerals, and in mineral processing. Studies in reservoir engineering, offshore drilling and production of oil and gas complement this program.
Faculty Research
