THE ENGINEERING ALPHABET: MINERAL AND MINING ENGINEERING

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