Revised Mining Curriculum Highlights

• The review and revision of the Mining curriculum was held in consultation with HSM's Governing Council on Mining, faculty, and representatives of the mineral resources industry in Ontario.
• The two-year diploma program will continue to offer a solid foundation in math, geology, mining methods, mineral processing and analytical methods.
• Safety and loss control will receive even greater emphasis at the request of industry.
• Excellent communication skills and soft skills (i.e. supervision and "people skills") were also identified as needs in the consultation process and will be featured prominently in the new curriculum.
• New courses in the two-year diploma program include Mining Economics, Project Management, and Ground Control and Ventilation.
• Compressed courses allowing for more industry participation, guest experts, and field trips will add to the practical aspect of the program.
