采矿工程师可以监督在矿场工作的其他工程师，测量师，地质学家，科学家和技术人员。采矿工程师可以在世界各地的大都市或地区工作，可以从事冒险工作。在这门专业中，您将学习工程学和基础科学学科。随着您的进步，重点将放在采矿科学和技术上，包括对土壤和岩石力学，炸药和岩石破碎，材料运输，采矿方法，采矿计划，项目评估和环境的研究。在您的第一年，您将完成工程基础年（EFY）。EFY为所有工程领域共同的基本概念奠定了坚实的基础。EFY与行业合作开发，以创建反映工程实践的课程。在珀斯获得工程学预科课程后，您可以直接前往卡尔古利
Mining engineers may supervise other engineers, surveyors, geologists, scientists and technicians working on a mine site. Working in metropolitan or regional locations around the world, mining engineers can have adventurous careers. In this major you will study engineering as well as basic science subjects. As you progress, emphasis will be placed on mining science and technology, which involves the study of soil and rock mechanics, explosives and rock breakage, materials transport, mining methods, mine planning, project evaluation and the environment. In your first year you will complete the Engineering Foundation Year (EFY). The EFY builds a solid base of the fundamental concepts common to all areas of engineering. The EFY was developed in partnership with industry to create a curriculum that is reflective of engineering practice. After your Engineering Foundation Year in Perth, you can go directly to Curtin WA School of Mines in Kalgoorlie, or study for a second year in Perth before completing your third and final years in Kalgoorlie. Studying in Kalgoorlie will provide you with meaningful exposure to the mining industry.
