Sudbury is at the heart of one of the world’s most important mining areas. Mining engineers receive a broadly based education that suits them to work in today’s complex, high technology world of mining. Their work involves the design, development, operation, and management of mines and their associated activities for the safe, economical and environmentally sound extraction of, minerals from ore bodies.
At Laurentian, emphasis is placed on underground, hard rock, metalliferous mining. Several major mining-related research centres are located on the Laurentian campus, focusing on issues such as rock mechanics, robotics and automation in mining, innovative mining techniques, deep mining productivity enhancement, and sustainability in mining.
4-Year Mining Program for 2011-2012
**It is strongly recommended that all Engineering students have their own computer**
********************************************************************************************************************
Many first year students enroll for general Engineering without specifying either
Chemical, Mechanical, Mining or Civil.
Due to increased enrollments in our programs and limited classroom capacities,
students must remember to officially declare their discipline to Registrar by email (registrar@laurentian.ca) in 1st or 2nd year.
Please include your name and Student ID when confirming your discipline.
