	Mining engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mining Engineering is a field that involves many of the other engineering disciplines as applied to extracting and processing minerals from a naturally occurring environment.
		Modern mining engineers must therefore be concerned not only with the production and processing of mineral commodities, but also with the mitigation of damage or changes to an environment as a result of that production and processing.
		One of the methods of prospecting is to extract drill cores from the area of the potential mine.

		Engineers use their knowledge of science and mathematics, and appropriate experience, to find suitable solutions to a problem.
		Engineers typically include a factor of safety in their designs to reduce the risk of unexpected failure.
		Historically, engineering has been seen as a somewhat dry, uninteresting field in popular culture, and has also been thought to be the domain of nerds (with little of the romance that attaches to hacker culture).

		Mining Engineers suppose to study general engineering course followed by professional mining classes in drilling and blasting, materials handling, rock mechanics, mine health and safety, mine ventilation, mine cost engineering, ore reserve analysis, operations analysis, mine planning, and minerals processing.
		Mining is a world-wide activity involving the extraction of nonmetallics, metal ores of all kinds, and solid fuels and energy sources such as coal and nuclear material.
		As technological and engineering field mining engineering offer a tremendous opportunity for the person who wishes to become involved in the application of our natural mineral resources to the preservation and enhancement of man. To meet these need mining engineers require a broad understanding of basic sciences, engineering, and economic principles.
