Experimental studies of the mechanical properties of materials and structural elements. Laboratory, four hours per week for three-fourths of the semester.

Theory and practice of mine haulage, hoisting and drainage and pumping. Application of engineering principles to the analysis and selection of materials handling mediums for the minerals industry.

An introduction to probability, statistics, and statistical inferential reasoning. Probability distributions for discrete and continuous random variables; descriptive statistics and claims arising from them; construction and evaluation of claims arising from formal statistical inference conveyed in confidence intervals and hypothesis tests; analysis of variance; information literacy for statistical inferential reasoning. The course emphasizes mining applications.

Hazards of dust and gaseous contamination of mine atmosphere; air dilution requirements; flow distribution in mine network, computer analysis of the ventilation network, natural ventilation and fans. Lecture, two hours; laboratory, three hours.
