The Department of Mining, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering<\/a> has kept its curriculum in Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering (BS EM) abreast with worldwide developments while maintaining focus on the needs of the country since the institution of the BS EM Program in 1916. The four-year course emphasizing the importance of engineering in the mining industry (thus the term Engineering for the Mines) was initially created under the Department of Civil Engineering but grew off as a separate Department in 1934.  It evolved into a five-year program in 1954 when Metallurgical Engineering was introduced. The last significant revision in its curriculum was in 1984. The core courses of the existing curriculum of Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering (BS EM) program has not been changed since 1986. With the current trends and technological advances, the program should aim to realign its goals towards addressing the needs of the mining community. This proposal aims to rejuvenate the 30-year old curriculum through the revision of all courses and addition of more courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
