Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours) in Mining Engineering

Adelaide University

Mechanical engineers are critical to the success of a mining project. They help design, maintain and optimise the machinery that’s essential to each stage of a mining operation. If you’re a great problem solver, love fixing things, thrive on a challenge, and are passionate about industries transitioning to more environmentally sustainable processes – a career in mining engineering is a great fit. Our Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours) majoring in Mining Engineering will give you the practical skills you need to extract valuable minerals, metals and energy resources from the earth in efficient, safe and environmentally sustainable ways. Our Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours) majoring in Mining Engineering offers a solid foundation in the essential knowledge, principles, and technical skills required for a successful career in mechanical engineering. Core courses explore key aspects of mechanical design, including mechanics, fluid mechanics, dynamics, vibration, control systems and thermodynamics. With your mining engineering major, you’ll develop expertise in mining systems, safety management, resource estimation, feasibility studies and more. Across the program, you’ll undertake practical learning experiences to refine your technical and professional skillset. These will include practical workshops, design projects and up to 450 hours of industry placements. You’ll graduate with the comprehensive knowledge and skills to excel as a qualified mechanical engineer.
