Program Requirements
Program credit weight: 150-151 credits
Program credit weight for Quebec CEGEP students: 121-122 credits
The Department offers a Co-op in Mining Engineering and a Mining Engineering program (without required co-op terms), both leading to an accredited B.Eng. degree in Mining Engineering. The co-op program includes three paid industrial work terms. The co-op program is offered in one of two streams: English Stream for non-CEGEP students and Bilingual Stream (six courses in French) for CEGEP students, in collaboration with the mining engineering program at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. Students in the Bilingual Stream are required to take six mining courses, designated by subject code MPMC, at Ecole Polytechnique in the latter part of the program.
Students must register for each work term (MIME 290, MIME 291, MIME 292) and pay associated fees by the Course Change (add/drop) registration deadline. Before registering for any work term course, students must contact the Mining Co-op Liaison Officer for approval.
In addition to regular courses and laboratories, the curriculum of the B.Eng. Co-op in Mining Engineering includes seminars, colloquia, and student projects reinforced by field trips to industrial operations.
Required Year 0 (Freshman) Courses
29 credits
Generally, students admitted to Engineering from Quebec CEGEPs are granted transfer credit for these Year 0 (Freshman) courses and enter a 121- to 123-credit program.
