I think this says a lot about the quality of our program and the contributions CSM graduates have made to the mining industry. Dr. Tibor Rozgonyi, Professor and Head, Department of Mining Engineering With a broad engineering education as their foundation, CSM mining students study mineral exploration, underground and surface mining operations, and mine reclamation. The required summer field experience is an important extension of class work. Our advanced computer facilities consist of high-speed Pentium PCs with graphic peripherals. Our faculty are experienced mining engineers who maintain a balance between theoretical principles and engineering application.
Faculty are accessible and willing to take the time to answer students questions.
The Edgar Mine near Idaho Springs provides mining students with unique opportunities for research and practical training in underground mine practices. During the summer field course at the mine, students apply classroom learning to real situations. The course covers such mining operations as drilling, blasting, and mucking, or loading blasted rock.
