Course Description
Course Profile
What do we teach?
Modern mining is constantly changing. It is an industry with many aspects and associated needs. In addition to the traditional one – open pit, underground and offshore (oil rigs) mining operations, projects for the extraction of concretions (clustered around an element, e.g. rock, minerals) from the sea and ocean floor are becoming more and more advanced. Moreover, concepts for economically justifiable space mining are also being developed.
The mining industry relies on the automation of production and the minimization of the negative effects of the extraction of raw materials, which is why we provide solid preparation in computer science, computer-aided design (CAD), the basics of law (including EU law), environmental protection and issues related to economics, management and occupational safety. By studying, you will gain knowledge in geology, raw material extraction and mineral engineering,
post-industrial land reclamation, as well as machine operation and industrial robotics.
We are close to the ideas of a closed loop economy and Industry 4.0.
Why is it worth it?
The development of civilization, both in the past, at present and in the foreseeable future, depends on the extraction of raw materials. There are many valuable raw materials in our country. In addition to lignite and hard coal and copper ores, we have natural aggregates, limestone and marls used by the cement industry, copper ores, road and building stones, foundation sands.
All are essential for the development of our economy. Specialists in modern automated mining technologies, capable of extracting raw materials safely, with respect for the environment, are highly valued and sought after, both nationally and internationally. In addition, tunnel construction is developing intensively in the country. Miners worked on the construction of the Warsaw underground and today build tunnels both in cities and in hard-to-reach mountainous regions. If you want to gain an interdisciplinary engineering education and, as a result, an interesting, well-paid job, then Geoengineering and Resource Extraction is for you.
Because modern mining is more just a coal mining!
