| | | | Process and Resources Engineering is the study of locating, assaying and extracting minerals from the earth, refining metals, and producing and analysing the properties of alloys, ceramics, polymers and other materials. It also includes developing and implementing extraction and treatment procedures and designing chemical plants and control systems. Skills learned include: analysing the structure, composition and properties of materials, developing techniques for producing and processing materials, applying chemical and metallurgical techniques to the commercial production of metals and alloys, applying the principles and practices of management and safety to the efficient operation of mines, developing methods of controlling gas and oil extraction, surveying, designing and constructing mines, surveying mineral deposits to assess the economic feasibility of mining, applying mathematical principles of modelling and optimisation to the design of chemical processes, preparing feasibility studies and costings of processes. The main purpose of this field of study is to develop an understanding of the theory and technology of metallurgical and mining engineering, the extraction, processing and refinement of minerals, the treatment and manufacture of metals, alloys, ceramics, polymers and other materials, and the management, regulatory and safety aspects of production. It also involves developing the ability to organise, co-ordinate and maintain mining and processing operations.
