Engineering
Atlantic International University
The Bachelor of Mining Engineering (BS)
program help students become a professional
capable of designing and managing a modern
coal or mineral mining operation, or continuing
into research, banking, law, or consulting.
The Bachelor of Mining Engineering (BS)
program is offered online via distance learning.
After evaluating both academic record and
life experience, AIU staff working in conjunction
with Faculty and Academic Advisors will
assist students in setting up a custom-made
program, designed on an individual basis.
This flexibility to meet student needs is
seldom found in other distance learning
programs. Our online program does not require
all students to take the same subjects/courses,
use the same books, or learning materials.
Instead, the online Bachelor of Mining Engineering
(BS) curriculum is designed individually
by the student and academic advisor. It
specifically addresses strengths and weaknesses
with respect to market opportunities in
the student’s major and intended field
of work. Understanding that industry and
geographic factors should influence the
content of the curriculum instead of a standardized
one-fits-all design is the hallmark of AIU’s
unique approach to adult education. This
philosophy addresses the dynamic and constantly
changing environment of working professionals
by helping adult students in reaching their
professional and personal goals within the
scope of the degree program.
Important: Below is an example of the topics
or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete
or required list as AIU programs do not
follow a standardized curriculum. It is
meant solely as a reference point and example.

Career
Center Bachelor of Mining Engineering
Job Description
Bachelors in Mining Engineering
Mining engineers plan mining operations
and design underground and surface mines.
They also design mining equipment and supervise
technicians and workers who use it. Most
mining engineers work for firms in the coal
and metal industries. Some specialize in
just one of these industries. Engineers
can work for companies that make mining
equipment. Others work for government agencies
that regulate the mining industry.
Education and Training Requirements
- Bachelor's degree is required to be
a mining engineer. Some employers hire
engineers with a degree in mechanical,
electrical, or civil engineering. A master's
or doctoral degree is usually necessary
for those interested in doing research
or teaching at the college level.
Professional Associations
- The American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical,
and Petroleum Engineers (AIME)
- National Mining Association (NMA)
- Minerals Metals & Materials Society
(MMMS)
- Mining Association of India (MAI)
