Each student should satisfy the following requirements in completing his or her 30 units for the master's study program:
At least 18 units must be in courses for which A or B grades are given
At least 15 units must be in the student's major area as defined by the program committee
Students in the MS degree program are required to register for and participate in the graduate seminar (course / course) each semester they are in residence. One unit of seminar credit is applied toward the program of study.
It is recommended that students take at least 9 units of course work in the MGE Department not including thesis or report units.
Coursework:
course: Graduate Seminar (1)
course: Thesis (6)
course: Mine Examination & Valuation (3)
course: Equipment Operations Technology (3) OR course: Hydrometallurgy (3)
course: Underground Construction Geomechanics (3) OR course: Elements of Solution Mining (3)
Substitutions allowed with the consent of your Advisor.
The student will choose thier elective coursework in consultation with thier Advisor.
The program requires an undergraduate degree in an engineering discipline or a related science, health, or business discipline.
Pre-requisites Needed for Graduate Admission: The background coursework we look for is 3 semesters of calculus (for some emphasis areas differential equations is required), 1-2 semesters of physics (depending on the emphasis area), statics (for some emphasis areas strength of materials and mechanics of fluids), and a basic understanding of geologic principles. For those entering Mining Engineering from another discipline, we have developed a course to cover these pre-requisites. This 'bridge course' may be required to be taken in your first semester and will apply for up to 3 units on your plan of study.
Please refer to the Graduate Student Handbook for students who are pursuing this program of study.
