MINING ENGINEERING AND MINERAL ENGINEERING The Mining department, in association with the Metallurgy department, offers a range of courses which lead to operating or research positions within the mining, mineral and metallurgical industries, or in teaching, research or government establishments associated with these industries.

The number of students taking these courses is small, and is in fact inadequate to supply the Australian demand for graduates in these fields of work. This is unfortunate, because many openings exist for satisfying, constructive and well-rewarded employment in the mining, mineral and metallurgical industries. The mineral industries of Australia must progress because the development of the country depends to a great extent on an expanding production and use of mineral raw materials of all kinds.

The smallness of the number of students enrolling for these courses can only be due to lack of knowledge of the excellent opportunities for graduates in the fields of mining, mineral processing and metallurgy.

At the University of Melbourne in 1874-5 an option was introduced in the third year of the course leading to the certificate of Civil Engineer, which allowed students to specialize in either civil or mining engineering. This represented the first instruction in mining to be given in any Australian university. When a degree course in Civil Engineering was introduced in 1882, a similar option was retained in the fourth year. In 19o1 a ^separate degree (B.M.E.) in Mining Engineering was introduced.

Until 1924 teaching of mining was administered within a single department of Engineer- ing, and from 1924 to 1949, within the department of Metallurgy. In 1949 a separate department of Mining was established. A new building for this department erected in 1854 was occupied in 1955.

Since 1934 an Ore Dressing Section of C.S.I.R.O. has been associated with the department, conducting research on the treatment of Australian ores. Currently the staff of this section numbers seventeen.

The Mining department has two major fields of interest and responsibility which are closely related to each other.

1. The science and engineering practice of mining by underground, open cut and alluvial methods. This includes such topics as prospecting, exploration and development of mineral resources; drilling, blasting and rock breaking; ore and coal winning; transport, haulage, ventilation and drainage in mines; rock mechanics and mine design; mining equipment; mine sampling and valuation; mineral economics and mine management.

A major research interest is rock drilling and the allied field of rock mechanics.

2. The science and engineering practice of mineral processing, and in particular of mineral dressing. This includes such topics as crushing and grinding; sampling; screening and classifying; concentrating minerals byravity, centrifugal, magnetic, electrostatic, flotation and other methods. Also included are solid-liquid separation processes;

chemical leaching of ores; high temperature reactions; treatment plant design; operational control, mineral economics and management.

Research interests cover many of these fields, with particular emphasis on the surface chemistry of mineral-water systems involved in flotation concentration and solid-liquid separation processes, and on electrostatic methods of concentration.

The Mining department offers courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in Mining Engineering, and in Mineral Engineering.

In the Mining Engineering course, the first two years lay a foundation of chemistry, physics, mathematics, geology and general engineering subjects including surveying. The later years include additional general engineering, statistics, mine surveying, mining geology, mining, mining design, mineral processing, mineral economics and mine manage- ment. Graduates find employment in underground mining and open cutting and in civil tunnelling and excavation projects. The roads to management or to technical specialization 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.

In the Mineral Engineering course the emphasis is on the processing of all types of mineral raw materials by a variety of physical and chemical processes. Graduates can find employment in the field of metallic mineral beneficiation or in the non-metallic industries producing lime, cement, asbestos, plaster, clay and ceramic products. The first two years lay a foundation of physics, chemistry, mathematics, geology, general engineering and materials science, and are almost identical with the first two years of the Metallurgical Engineering course. Later years stress the science and technology of the chemical and physical processing of metals, with additional general engineering, statistics, mineralogy, geochemistry, mining, mineral economics and mineral industry management. This course should appeal to students with an interest in minerals who desire to become engineers rather than field geologists, and to those having an interest in the applications of physics or

61

chemistry to the engineering processing of mineral raw materials. Opportunities exist both in operation-management and in research.

The Mining department also provides an introductory course in lining for Science students majoring in Geology, and is responsible for courses in Ore Dressing included in the subjects Metallurgy Parts I, II and III, 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.
