Complementary Studies

Refer to the Complementary Studies section of this calendar for details regarding the requirements for all Engineering programs. For the Mining Program, the Engineering Economics course is MINE 330 Mineral Industry Economics Mineral Industry Economics. The Communications course is APSC 293 Engineering Communications 2 Engineering Communications. Included in the core Mining program is an additional 93 units of Professional Issues (equivalent to Complementary Studies List B) in MINE 422 Mining And Sustainability, MINE 431 Life-Cycle Assessment for Green Technologies, and MINE 459 Risk and Reliability Analysis for Industrial Asset Management, Health & Safety. In addition to this core content, Mining students must take at least 6 additional credits of Complementary Studies, of which at least 3 credits must be from List A and the remaining 3 credits can be from List A or B.
