Colorado School of Mines Graduate School Insights
Earth resources development engineering grads find themselves in an unprecedented mining boom in both developed and developing nations. A new, modern gold rush is upon us, but instead of gold we're extracting cobalt, lithium, aluminum and more from the planet. Earth...
Tunneling and underground construction—likely first performed by prehistoric humans who sought to make their cave homes larger—has a long and varied history. In time, all major ancient civilizations developed their own methods of building beneath the surface. The...
Underground construction and tunnel engineering is truly an interdisciplinary practice, involving knowledge and skills primarily in civil engineering, geological engineering and mining engineering and, to a lesser extent, mechanical engineering, electrical...
1. Is it truly interdisciplinary? Successful underground construction and tunneling projects rely on skills and knowledge from various disciplines—primarily civil engineering, geological engineering and mining engineering and, to a lesser extent, mechanical...
Advanced degree programs in underground construction and tunnel engineering and similar fields will require a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering as well as related coursework and acceptable GRE scores. At Mines, required prerequisite courses are strength of...
While the COVID-19 pandemic and political uncertainty cast a large shadow in 2020, a $2 trillion infrastructure bill making its way through Congress has given professionals and companies in the tunneling industry plenty to be optimistic about. The Infrastructure...
