Department of Mining Engineering

The Mining Engineering Department, founded in 1972, offers 1-year English Learning School and 4-year Bachelors of Science degree program in its undergraduate study. It also offers M.Sc. and Ph.D. programmes in mining operation and mineral processing disciplines in its graduate study, as well. Today, the Mining Engineering Department consists of 3 divisions, namely Mining Operation, Mineral Processing and Mine Mechanization and Technology, each on which the student can deepen himself by elective courses having taken basic engineering classes. With its experienced staff and wel-developed laboratories, Mining Engineering has always been among the top 5 of the same education facilities in Turkey according to the ranking in terms of minimum grade at student acceptance, faculty staff lecturing quality of education, high ratio in sending its students fro graduate studies abroad, etc. Our students have to fulfill 12 weeks of internship practice during their education, by which they can apply and consolidate the subjects they only had theoretical in the courses.

At undergraduate level, curriculum follows the Active Learning method, which is often synonymously called Problem Based Learning. Active Learning is a student-centered approach to education that brings an alternate model to the traditional teacher-centered education. The annual curriculum in Active Learning undergraduate program is composed of 12-14 individual modules each concentrating on different topics on Mining Engineering. At the end of 2 or 3-week modules, students are obliged to take a Module Evaluation Exam (MEE). In one academic year, there are fourteen MEEs, two Term Evaluation Exams (TEE) for Fall and Spring terms each, and one Final Evaluation Exam (FEE) for those who can not achieve 70 Grade Point Average (GPA) at the end of the academic year.

Active Learning in Mining Engineering depends on Problem Based Learning (PBL) sessions that urge students to question, discuss, and investigate the issues raised in the reading comprehension texts and worksheets given to them in each session. Related to modular topics, PBL sessions are supported by lectures and a variety of curricular activities such as Language and Writing (Technical English), Laboratory Studies in Physics and Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics Lectures, Field Studies, Summer Internship, and Computer Aided Education.

The Mining Engineering Department holds biannually “the Industrial Minerals Symposium” and “Drilling Symposium” in coordination with the Izmir Branch of Chamber of Turkish Mining Engineers. Moreover, “International Mineral Processing Symposium” and “International Mining Congress & Exhibition” are rotationally held every 4 years by the department.

Mining and the extraction of minerals are one of the oldest industries in the history of human civilization. With its reliance on state-of-the-art technology and a strong emphasis on the environment, mining and minerals engineering is also one of the most progressive industries today. Mining provides the raw materials and energy resources needed to sustain modern civilization. The mining curriculum combines basic engineering subjects, topics in geology and essential courses in mining to prepare graduates to discover, evaluate and develop mineral deposits. Graduates of the M.Sc. and Ph.D. programmes design, operate, manage, and reclaim mines and mining facilities in a profitable, safe, and environmentally responsible manner. A career in mining engineering requires a strong background in mathematics, computer applications, economics, communication skills, and physical sciences, particularly geology, physics, and, chemistry. Our graduates find jobs domestically and abroad in the fields of open and underground mines, mineral processing plants, cement and ceramic plants, drilling, quarries, and marble plants.

None. DESCRIPTION

Objectives: The high costs in the mining sector in the last years involve high production capacities which made necessary to be very big ore deposits. It is evident that the number of such big examples of ore deposits is not as high as demanded by the mining sector. The mining sector must dedicate to this problem and develop new techniques to evaluate the ore deposits with lesser ore reserves. Thus a scientific subarea "small Scale Minige has been established within Mining Engineering. This will be dealt in this course.

Learning outcomes

This course is expected to help the student to appreciate how philosophy and economics bear on each other and how philosophy contributes to economic investigations

To develop the students analytical abilities and ability to present and criticise arguments.

To give the students further trairung on tools of how to undertake empirical research and combine it with a sophisticated exptorations of economic investigations.

Contents: Introduction and definition of small scale mining, general characteristics of small scale mining, decision making in working small scale deposits, geological and geoenvironmental constraints, development strategies for small scale mining, underground mining methods for small scale deposits, ventilation, water supply and drainage, support, toping, loading and hauling equipments for underground small scale workings, specific surface mining techniques, surface mining equipments for small scale deposits, special working techniques, economical evaluation of small scale mining, advantages and disadvantages, current small scale mining operations worldwide TEACHING AND LEARNING METHOS

The course is taught in a lecture, and discussion format. All class members are expected to participate in the lectures and class discussions, as well as complete the given homework. Students are expected to prepare a term project and present it in the class using Microsoft Power-Point presentation program. TEXTBOOK
