What courses a Mining Engineering student study in American universities?
Answer:
I work with Mining Engineers. Threre are about 10 schools in the US that offer Mining Engineering. I'll try to find the list. Here is the curriculum for Montana Tech's program. http://www.mtech.edu/mines/mine_eng/curr... Right now the jobs look really good: http://www.mtstandard.com/articles/2005/...
