Mineral Processing Track
Mineral Processing Track
Prepare for a career as a process engineer or metallurgists, in valuable metal extraction, designing and operating new extraction technologies, and developing processing and metallurgical techniques for complex ores. A minor in chemistry, chemical engineering or materials science is encouraged.
Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering
Today’s students are tomorrow’s process engineers and metallurgists, turning rocks and minerals into the metals and compounds that make everything from AAA batteries to jet turbines. Graduates go on to: Extract valuable metals from ore minerals – chemically and thermally, Design and operate comminution and extraction technologies, Test new methods of extracting metals, Develop processing and metallurgical techniques for complex ores. A minor in chemistry, chemical engineering or materials science is encouraged.
