This advanced diploma is delivered with a strong practical focus and covers a variety of skills required in the mining operations industry. Upon completion of this programme, you will gain skills and knowledge in the latest and developing technologies in electrical and instrumentation in mining operations. This programme aims to impart the necessary electrical and instrumentation engineering skills required in the mining operations industry, and all the theory covered is tied to a practical outcome.

This programme research should illustrate the latest in mining technology. Describing the several tasks that a mining engineer performs during the life of a mine is also a salient topic: deposit exploration, site value determination, ore extraction and post-mining reclamation. Candidates should focus on sustainable land management that meets economic and environmental needs and cover both surface and underground mining methods for a wide range of substances, including metals, non-metals and fuels.

Responsible mining is possible by developing it under safe conditions and respecting environmental standards and international parameters. The importance of the mining sector lies in the fact that its products are part of the daily life of human beings around the world, either because they depend economically on this activity, they live ancestrally from it, they work in mines, they transport the products, they market them, They benefit from export earnings and even use them daily.
