The later years Include additional general engineering statistics, mine surveying, mining geology, mining, mining design, mineral processing, mineral economics and mine management. Graduates find employment In underground mining and open cutting, and In civil tunnelling and excavation projects. The roads to management or to technical special- ization lie open to them. The mining degree gives partial exemption from examinations for Mine Manager's certificates and similar certificates In most States of Australia.
While the Mineral Engineering course is suspended students wishing to specialize in Mineral Processing should enrol for courses in Metal- lurgical Engineering, Science or Applied Science. In any of these the opportunity exists to specialize in Mineral Processing In the later years.
Graduates find employment in the processing of metallic minerals, non- metallics or coal. Mineral Processing Is concerned both with the phy- sical and chemical processing of minerals. Courses in Mineral Pro- cessing should appeal to students with an Interest In minerals who da not desire to become geologists, and to those having an interest In the application of physics and chemistry to the processing of mineral raw materials. Opportunities exist both In operation-management and in research and development. . .
The Mining department also provides an Introductory course in Mining for Science students majoring In Geology, and is responsible for the Mineral Processing content of Metallurgy subjects, which are studied by students of Metallurgical Engineering, Science or Applied Science.
Post-graduate training and research within the department, In mining or In mineral processing, can lead to the higher degrees of master of Engineering Science, or master of Science, and doctor of Philosophy.
There is also available the professional degree of master of Engineering in Mining Engineering or Minerai Engineering.

SURVEYING
The department of Surveying was established In 1949. Its function Is to impart knowledge of the methods and Instruments used In making and Interpreting measurements of natural and artificial features so that their absolute or relative positions can be accurately determined, and If necessary shown on a plan or map. As such, the department con- tinues and furthers the work commenced within the University when the first lecturer In Surveying was appointed In 1861.
The department has four full-time and two part-time lecturers on Its staff and provides instruction for students pursuing degree courses de- signed to fit them for careers in which a knowledge of Surveying is one of the essentials.
The course leading to the degree of bachelor of Surveying Is of four years duration. The first year Is similar to the Engineering courses and consists of a basic training in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering and Statistics. Studies in the second and subsequent years become pro- gressively more specialized in the fields of Mathematics, Natural Scien- ces and of course, Surveying.
The fourth year is devoted almost exclusively to the study of Surveying Including Astronomy, Geodesy and Photogrammetry, and Includes courses in the legal aspects of Surveying as well as Town Planning. . The degree of bachelor of Surveying was conferred for the first time In 1953, and that of master of Surveying In 1960.
Graduates In Surveying who wish to obtain a Licence to practise as cadastral surveyors on title definition In Victoria are exempted from nearly all the examinations of the Surveyors' Board of Victoria, but are obliged to serve between fifteen and eighteen months under articles of apprenticeship with a licensed surveyor on land boundary definition.
The Surveyors' Board gives some credit for cadastral work performed under a licensed surveyor during University vacations.
A degee In Surveying qualifies the graduate for Associate Membership of the institution of Surveyors, Australia, and, after two years profes- slonal experience such an Associate can progress to Corporate Mem- bership. Undergraduates are eligible for Student Membership.
Graduates are encouraged to continue their studies and present them- selves as candidates for the degrees of master of Surveying Science, master of Surveying or the degree of doctor of Philosophy.
Australia Is a large and relatively unmapped continent and urgently requires educated young men with spirit and Integrity to enter the Surveying profession and carry on the work which is the basis of a significant portion of Engineering and Legal Practice, and Is a pre- requisite of national development.
