Global leadership in mining education, expertise and innovation

Welcome to Mining Engineering in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering at the University of Alberta. Mining Engineering at the University of Alberta ranks among the very best in North America. Our location within a larger Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering facilitates synergies between core mining courses and research and the various other disciplines in the department. Students have the ability to take courses in affiliated areas such as geotechnical, environmental, construction, and water resources engineering. Given the broad multidisciplinary nature of modern mining practises, this gives our students a competitive advantage.

We are dedicated to excellence in the discovery, dissemination and application of knowledge about mining engineering for production of mineral / hydrocarbon reserves in an efficient and environmentally responsible manner.
