The BE(Hons) (program code: 2342) has been discontinued from 2020, as the program has undergone a restructure and has a new program code for students commencing in 2021.
Students commencing prior to 2021, should follow the course and program information for previous years . It is recommended that students go to the transition checklists for course information, as a number of courses may now be renamed, recoded or unavailable due to the program re-structure in 2021. Approved substitutions for your courses can be found in the relevant checklist .

Pre-2021 Students wanting to follow the 2021 structure will be required to program change and should seek academic advice prior to requesting the change.

The Mining and Geotechnical specialisation consists of the major in Mining Engineering, which is taken in common with all mining engineering plans, supplemented with additional specialist study and project work in Geotechnical Engineering. The program is designed to equip qualified mining engineers with the skills to approach to complex, multidisciplinary problems concerning earth materials including roads, landslides, piled building foundations, excavations, spillways, tunnelling and mining.

There is a high demand from Mining and Geotechnical Engineering Consultants, Mining Companies, and Civil and Mining Contractors, and graduates can work in design, operation, management, research and consulting in Australia and overseas.
