A study of dc and ac electrical circuits, single-phase and three-phase circuits, transformers, and ac and dc rotating machinery used in the mining industry.

Mine Safety and Health Management and Processes, 2 cr. History and overview of mine health and safety; effective health and safety management systems; building a health and safety culture; hazard anticipation and identification, risk management and hazard control; Federal processes for health and safety system management; mine safety and health resources; mine laws, including safety regulations and interpretations for mining engineers and supervisors; and contemporary issues in mine safety.

This course addresses drilling and blasting performance, types and properties of commercial explosives, initiation and priming, explosive selection, basic blast design, explosive applications. The course is a prerequisite/co-requisite for those without an equivalent course credit enrolled in the DL certificate.

An introductory course to principal concepts and methods of fluid mechanics. Topics include pressure, hydrostatics, and buoyancy; open systems and control volume analysis; mass and momentum conservation for moving fluids; viscous slurry fluid flows, flow through pipes; Open channel flow; dimensional analysis; boundary layers, and lift and drag on objects.

Development of professional skills important to the practice of mining engineering. Topics include written and oral communication skills, understanding ethical responsibility and appropriate ethical conduct, real world problem formulation and solution skills, exercise of abilities important to lifelong learning, knowledge of contemporary issues important to mining engineering. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course in certain programs, and hence is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.
