BA/BS in Mining Engineering

This is a Bachelor of Engineering program in Mining Engineering, delivered on campus in Sudbury, Ontario, over four years, with an optional co-op track extending it to five. The curriculum combines core engineering foundations with specialized mining coursework covering mine planning and design, underground and surface mining methods, rock mechanics and ground control, drilling, blasting and explosives, mineral processing, mine ventilation, and materials handling and automation, alongside geology, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and the environmental impacts of mining operations. Students choosing the co-op option alternate paid work terms with study; past placements have involved mine planning, geotechnical engineering, and tailings management at operating mines and consulting firms. The program is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board and prepares graduates to pursue licensure with Professional Engineers Ontario. Sudbury's standing as a major mining centre gives students access to industry connections and mine visits. The program suits students drawn to mining, engineering, and resource extraction, and graduates go on to roles in mining operations, engineering consulting, research and development, and graduate study.
