采矿提供了维持现代文明所需的原材料和能源。诸如铜，铁，银，金，锂，铅，镍和其他矿物质的资源都被开采，加工，然后用于制造从计算机处理器到建筑材料的物品。犹他大学的采矿工程课程获得ABET的认证，使您为在这个令人振奋的行业中从事富有成效的终身职业做好准备。采矿工程课程结合了基础工程学科，地质主题和采矿必修课程，以帮助毕业生准备发现，评估和开发矿床。其他课程包括数学，计算机应用，经济学，沟通技巧和物理科学。毕业后，学生将能够以有利可图，安全和对环境负责的方式设计，运营，管理和回收矿山和采矿设施。
Mining provides the raw materials and energy resources needed to sustain modern civilization. Resources such as copper, iron, silver, gold, lithium, lead, nickel, and other minerals are all mined, processed, and then used to create things from computer processors to construction materials. The Mining Engineering program at the University of Utah is ABET accredited and prepares you to pursue a productive, life-long career in this exciting industry. The Mining Engineering curriculum combines basic engineering subjects, topics in geology, and essential courses in mining to prepare graduates to discover, evaluate, and develop mineral deposits. Additional coursework includes mathematics, computer applications, economics, communication skills, and physical sciences. Students have the option to complete one of 5 emphasis areas, allowing them to tailor their program to best fit their strengths and interests.
