POST-BACCALAUREATE CERTIFICATE IN MINE PRODUCTION AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Description: Graduates of the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Mine Production and Information Technology will better understand how information technology can be used to maximize mine production and can advance on to Master of Science, or Master of Engineering programs.
Curriculum: 15 units of credit beyond the Bachelors of Science in Mining Engineering or a related degree in engineering, science, or business profession.
Required coursework:
MNE 507 Equipment Operations Technology (3 units)
MNE 522 Engineering Sustainable Development (3 units)
MNE 530 Mine Examination and Valuation (3 units)
Course substitutions or changes in electives are allowed with the approval of the MGE faculty member in charge of the selected track
Elective coursework:
MNE 587 Applied Neural Network Computing (3 units)
SIE 531 Simulation Modeling & Analysis (3 units)
SIE 530 Engineering Statistics (3 units)
SIE 548 Operations Research Modeling (3 units)
SIE 557 Project Management (3 units)
Course substitutions or changes in electives are allowed with the approval of the MGE faculty member in charge of the selected track
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 a required to be taken in your first semester and will apply for up to 3 units on your plan of study.
