About the program

This program is intended for students interested in understanding the processes of mining production and planning to continue their professional activities at the enterprises of this industry. In the course of training, students gain knowledge and skills in organizing and conducting work in the field of mining, mining and surveying, study geology, mechanization, enrichment and power supply of mining operations. During the development of this program, students will gain skills in the effective management of all mining production processes at enterprises operating open-pit deposits.

Learning outcomes

  • Carry out technical management of mining and blasting operations during operational exploration, mining of solid minerals, construction and operation of underground facilities, directly control processes at production facilities, including in emergency situations
  • The ability to determine the spatial and geometric position of objects, to carry out the necessary geodetic and mine surveying measurements, to process and interpret their results
  • Know the patterns of behavior and management of the properties of rocks and the state of the massif in the processes of mining and processing of solid minerals, as well as in the construction and operation of underground structures
  • Owning the methods of rational and integrated development of the geo-resource potential of the subsoil
  • Analyze and typify the conditions for the development of mineral deposits for their integrated use, perform various assessments of subsoil use

Career opportunities

A mining process engineer is the main manager of mining operations, who is well versed in the technology of opencast mining of coal, ore and alluvial deposits, effectively solving organizational, technical and environmental problems, issues of improving the integrated use of extracted raw materials and the development of new deposits. Graduates of the specialty "Open cast mining" can occupy the positions of an engineer in design, research organizations of the relevant profile, as well as at construction industry enterprises that use construction minerals (gravel, sand, clay, limestone, dolomite, marble, etc.).
