For an effective engineering practice, the mining graduate must be aware and appreciate the issues and requirements set by contemporary society, the international community and, to this end, communicate effectively. Impart an ability to solve complex mining and earth system related problems. The effectiveness of the Core curriculum can be drawn from the performance of our students on the EIT exams. These goals are fully consistent with the institutional goals of CSM and mission statement in the Graduate Profile. The Mining Engineering Program enjoys a wide-ranging and large number of valuable constituencies each involved in providing information and input to the program for continuing assessment and improvement.
Students evaluate each course at the end of every semester.
The response from the students and the department head is formally discussed and addressed with the faculty during their evaluation process. In general, the students input is considered during the annual departmental assessment meeting and at regular faculty meetings. Graduating seniors provide input during their exit-interviews with the department head. The graduating seniors input constitutes part of the overall assessment of the department. The majority of the faculty have either direct industrial experience or indirect experience through consulting.
