Overview

Mining engineering is a field that deals with extraction and processing of minerals from a naturally occurring environment. Mining and Mineral extraction is vital for the growth of modern society. Mining activities can cause disturbance because of their nature and the activities effect the natural environment. Mining engineers are consequently involved not only with the production and processing of mineral commodities but also with the mitigation of harm to the environment because of that production and processing. Mining engineers are consulted on virtually every level of a mining operation. Mining engineers work as an engineer who does operations development, further mineral exploration, and operation capitalization by figuring out where in the mine to add equipment and personnel. The engineer may also work in supervision and management, or as an equipment and mineral salesclerk. In addition to engineering and operations, the mining engineer may work as an environmental, health and protection manager or design engineer.
