Course Description: This course is designed to provide students with a practical understanding of mining engineering principles and practices. Students will learn about mineral extraction, mine design, mineral processing, and the use of technology in mining engineering.. Depending on the institution, this course can be covered with different depths and focuses.

Mining Engineering competitiveness is low. This means it is relatively easy to get into because few students are interested in the course but this does not translate to higher admission rate neither does this means the course is easy. Alternatively, some school may give student admission in related courses if the space is filled up and if they have the expected subject combinations…. Nevertheless, The admission rate for Mining Engineering is typically around 20-30%, but it can differ between different institutions.

Some institutions have a higher acceptance rate, whereas others might have a lesser one. The rate of acceptance is greatly affected by factors such as the course’s popularity, its competitiveness, and the reputation of the school itself.
