Goals and Objectives
To train mining engineers;
- who could have strong social interaction, enough knowledge, skills and competence,
- who could take active role in the extraction and processing of mining resources, with scientifically and technologically highest international standard methods, within the principle of occupational health and safety regulations, environment consciously and economically to be served in human needs.
- who could also take active role in mining related other areas such as construction of subways, tunnels and dams.
Facilities Provided By Mining Engineering
Eskişehir is one of the most popular places of Turkey in terms of mining and has important metallic and industrial reserves of boron salts, chromite, magnesite, gold, marble and meerschaum. On the purpose of supporting mining industry, Mining Engineering Department was established in 1975 in Eskişehir. The department has three divisions, namely, Mining, Mineral Processing and Excavation Machines and Mechanization. The courses have been designed to train mining engineers who operates underground resources consciously and efficiently. Undergraduate courses are given theorically and supplemented with practice. Basic Mineral Engineering courses are given in the first two years of study, and elective courses can be selected and to be professionalized in any of the divisions. The department has high technology mineral processing, rock mechanics, mineralogy, ore bed and semi precious gem stones laboratories. Graduates are employed in either government or private mining and/or mineral processing companies in Turkish Mining Industry.Department has its own Mining Engineering Club, organizing social gatherings, plant trips etc.
