Mining is one of the fastest growing sectors in Saskatchewan. In the next 10 years, estimates predict over 15,000 new workers will be needed in the industry—including mining engineering technologists. Mining engineering technologists work in hard and soft rock mining operations here in Saskatchewan, across Canada and around the world. It’s a well-paying career that can involve surveying, ventilation, ground control, mine planning or supervision. Students need to be team players, good at problem solving, comfortable working with new technology and committed to workplace safety.
Mining Engineering Technology is a two-year diploma program offered at Saskatchewan Polytechnic Saskatoon campus. In the classroom and in the lab, students will learn to apply scientific principles to basic mining engineering situations. Students will develop knowledge and skills in:
Hands-on learning involves everything from computer simulations, to geology and surveying labs, to mechanical and materials testing labs. Second year projects will help students build skills in mine design, blasting and ventilation. Students will also carry out an applied research project. This emphasis on learning by doing ensures students are ready to work from day one after graduation.
