LWNagel Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I am in a self-designed major focusing on the political and economic issues of energy and extraction, and I very much want to go into a mining engineering MS program. Given I am coming from a social science background, I am also taking many classes in geoscience, and math/physics including engineering statics. Do you think that this would be a good preparation for an MS in mining engineering (perhaps one on a mineral economics track)? I also know GIS, CAD, and some geological modeling. Thank you!

ace589 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 A quick search looks like most programs require core engineering courses (fluid dynamics, thermodynamics/heat transfer, statics and strength of material, electrodynamics) or equivalent courses required to pass the FE exam. Atleast 3 courses in geology and 2 in mining methods and processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
