Body Fluids And Hemostasis Laboratory

Laboratory experiences will provide students with the practice of urinalysis and other body fluid analysis, and Hemostasis testing. Experiences will include testing with manual and automated procedures, instrumentation principles, role of quality assurance, and the promotion of problem-solving skills. Special emphasis will be placed on the relationship of test results and associated disease states.

Mine Graphics

This course is designed to provide students an understanding of CAD core functionality and features so that they can create, edit, and organize their engineering drawings. It covers essential CAD commands and functions, including coordinate systems, drawing tools, layer management, dimensioning, undoing and altering, moving and duplicating, arrays, blocks, viewports, file maintenance, measurement and calculations, plotting and printing. The course emphasizes hands-on experience with CAD software and practical applications in mining and processing applications.

Mining Methods

A study of the principal underground and surface mining methods practiced in coal and hard rock mines; method classification; support and equipment requirements; general mine planning; sequence of development, cycle of operations, and method application and variation.

Elements Of Mine Design

Practical knowledge of computational tools used in mine design projects for both underground and surface mining, including a programming language and geology/mining modeling software. Geological and mining engineering modeling through the manipulation of software packages commonly used by mining engineers. Projects will cover the areas of surveying, geology, economics and mining.

Mine Safety And Health Management And Processes

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.

Mine Ventilation

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.

Professional Development Of Mining Engineers

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.
