Program Details
This online engineering degree prepares students for work in this field with a very specific type of expertise. This includes scientific knowledge and the unique technological tools engineers utilize. It also offers a complete grasp of operational and computing tools that impact the daily functions of excavation to help make production processes cost-efficient. The curriculum involves advanced coursework that explores the operational systems used to drive efficient mining facilities around the world and develops the ability to find or build the right tool for the challenge and use it effectively. Students closely examine technologies used to monitor mining environments, manage information, and recognize patterns in statistical data. Graduates have insight into the systems engineering process and are prepared to create new platforms and structures that suit any situation so they can design and maintain large-scale earth-moving systems and analyze operational processes for financial concerns.
If you later decide to pursue a Master of Engineering in Mining and Geological Engineering after earning this science degree online, all credits earned can be transferred.
