With subjects like aeronautical engineering , mining engineering , agriculture engineering , etc . we have seen the rise of many alternative engineering courses in the past few decades . Let ’ s have a look at one of the special engineering course catching up rapidly with the already popular one i . e . Mining Engineering .
Mining is a vast field that deals with identification , extraction , production and processing of valuable minerals like coal , petroleum , metallic minerals and nonmetallic minerals , from natural reserves . Mining engineering covers techniques and technologies related to a range of mining activities like exploration , feasibility study , production , transportation and marketing of minerals . It covers maintenance of mines including removal of toxic gases and ensuring air circulation . Land restoration and rehabilitation of mining sites are also part of mining engineering .
Mining engineers have a number of careers to choose from . Based on the role they assume , these professionals are responsible for activities like planning , designing and
