Program details
Overview
Technologie minerale (code 271.A0) is a Diploma of College Studies (DEC) offered by Cegep de l'Abitibi-Temiscamingue at its Rouyn-Noranda campus, with three specialization tracks: Geologie, Exploitation, and Mineralurgie; this entry covers the Exploitation specialization. The program is delivered through a work-study alternance structure, includes a DEC-BAC agreement with l'Universite du Quebec a Chicoutimi, and other university-transfer arrangements. Admission requires Technical and Scientific Mathematics (TS), Natural Sciences Mathematics (SN), or Common Core Mathematics (CST) from the fourth year of Quebec secondary school, plus Science and Technology (STE) or Environmental Science (SE) from the same year. Students in the Exploitation track train directly in mining operations, covering planning, infrastructure design, drilling and blasting, ground control, surveying, and ventilation, in both open-pit and underground contexts, building on shared coursework common to all three specializations. The specialization concludes with a synthesis project built around a defined mining operation, where students establish the operational stages and a full accounting of costs using real industry data. Internships place students in a regional mine to practise abattage planning and control, ore-block tonnage and grade estimation, ground control, ventilation, or mine-development layout. Graduates typically work as mining-operations technologists or technicians. The program suits students who want hands-on, physically and technically demanding work directly inside mining operations.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Technologie minérale : Exploitation (271.A0), offert au campus de Rouyn-Noranda et ouvert aux personnes candidates internationales. Préalables spécifiques exigés : mathématiques Technico-sciences, Sciences naturelles ou Culture, société et technique (TS, SN de 4e secondaire, ou CST de 5e secondaire), et Science et technologie de l'environnement ou Sciences et environnement (STE ou SE) de 4e secondaire ; ces préalables sont les mêmes pour les trois profils (Géologie, Exploitation, Minéralurgie) du programme. Au-delà de ces préalables, l'admission repose par ailleurs sur la base générale du Cégep : le diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) — la personne titulaire d'un DES qui n'a pas réussi la langue d'enseignement de 5e secondaire, la langue seconde de 5e secondaire, les mathématiques de 4e secondaire, la science et technologie de 4e secondaire ou l'histoire de 4e secondaire peut se voir imposer des cours de mise à niveau — ou le diplôme d'études professionnelles (DEP) complété par la langue d'enseignement de 5e secondaire, la langue seconde de 5e secondaire et les mathématiques de 4e secondaire. Le programme offre un cheminement DEC-BAC avec l'UQAC et une formule d'alternance travail-études. La page ne mentionne aucune exigence de langue additionnelle, de portfolio ni d'entrevue pour ce programme. L'admission se fait exclusivement en ligne auprès du SRAM.
