Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Mining)

The first two years of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mining) focus on building engineering, mathematics and science foundations that are further developed in the final two years of the degree.
The third and fourth years of the degree have been developed by Mining Education Australia; a unique, industry-funded and internationally respected collaboration of the University of Adelaide, the University of New South Wales, the University of Queensland and Curtin University.
This provides students with a unique perspective on mining practice across Australia.
The degree focuses on engineering problem-solving, analysis and design, optimisation, computer-based methods and research, and communication and management skills.
Students are required to complete 12 weeks of approved practical experience.
Academic Program Rules The Calendar is a comprehensive handbook of the University's academic program rules.

Some students may need to modify their enrolment based on previous study (e.
g.
students granted advanced standing/credit, students repeating previously failed courses).
ENGINEERING COMMUNICATION Unless exempted by the Faculty, all international students are required to take Engineering Communication.
At the commencement of study, the Faculty will advise which course is to be replaced by ENG 3003 Engineering Communication EAL.
** C&ENVENG 4106 Introduction to Geostatistics is a pre-requisite to C&ENVENG 4056  Linear Geostatistics.
RESEARCH PROJECT INFORMATIONThe Research Project courses9 unit Research project must be undertaken in three consecutive semesters, beginning in semester 2 of your third year.
Students form their groups and formulate their Research Proposal in MINING 3222.
The group then develop the Research Project in Part A (MINING 4222A) Part A and Part B (MINING 4222B) Part B.
COURSE AVAILABILITY^Check the course planner for course availability noting the availability of all courses is conditional on the availability of staff and facilities.
