MINERAL AND MINING MINERAL AND MINING ENGINEERSENGINEERS

Locate, remove and appraise minerals they find in the earth. Mining engineers lay out the mines, supervise their construction, create materials transportation system and return the area to its natural state upon completionof mining work. Mineral and mining engineers need to know how to mine the natural wealth underground without destroying the land above or disrupting the people who live on it.

METALLURGICAL AND MATERIAL METALLURGICAL AND MATERIAL ENGINEERINGENGINEERING

Metallurgical and Materials engineers extract, process, refine, combine and manufacture natural substances to create new materials that are stronger and can resist corrosion.

Metallurgical engineers work with metals only. They deal with the production and refining of metals, heat treatment, fabrication and alloying materials to provide refined properties.
