JNTUH B.Tech 4th Year 1 Semester Mining Engineering R13 gives you complete info of Mining Engineering R13 Course Structure.
Mining engineering is an engineering discipline that applies science and technology to the extraction of minerals from the earth. Mining engineering is associated with many other disciplines, such as geology, mineral processing and metallurgy, geotechnical engineering and surveying. A mining engineer may manage any phase of mining operations – from exploration and discovery of the mineral resource, through feasibility study, mine design, development of plans, production and operations to mine closure.
Mining Engineers are in demand in Gulf countries (basically oil-producing countries) like Saudi Arabia, UAE/Dubai, Qatar and Kuwait. These countries have hubs of crude oil, petroleum and others.
Some of the big names in public sector that hire Mining Engineers are Coal India Ltd, Manganese Ore India Ltd, Singareni Collieries Company Ltd, Uranium Corporation of India Ltd, and Steel Authority of India Ltd. Some of the private players that prefer Mining Engineers include Power Limited, Tata Steel, Vedanta Jindal Steel and Adani Mining Pvt Ltd.
With the increasing efforts in R&D and technological innovations, the mining and minerals industry has developed huge Human resource requirements. There is already a shortage of skilled workforce throughout the world.
Developments are taking place rapidly and many companies in this sector are expanding their operations and are working on new projects like the refinery being constructed by Reliance Industries Limited in Jamnagar. Also Bharat Petroleum is conducting R&D for value added products and alternate fuels. So to conclude, it can be said that mining and minerals sector has a bright future, be it in terms of employment or technology.
