Mining Engineering

Wuhan University of Technology (hereafter referred to as WUT) was merged on May 27th 2000, from the former Wuhan University of Technology (established in 1948), Wuhan Transportation University (established in 1946) and Wuhan Automotive Polytechnic University (established in 1958). WUT is one of the leading Chinese universities under the direct administration of the Ministry of ..

Educational Objectives

Based on decades of professional conduction and development, Mining Engineering is aimed to cultivate senior engineering and technical personnel with solid foundation and high quality to meet the needs of modern mining technology both home and abroad. Furthermore, the excellent graduates are provided with good practical ability, communication skills, creativity, sense of innovation as well as the abilities of production, management, design and scientific research in the field of Mining (metal and nonmetal mines), mine safety, blasting engineering, etc. To be more specific, the high-level talents of Mining Engineering should be able to

① acquire the comprehensive quality of science and humanity as well as the sense of social responsibility and professional morality.

② lay a solid foundation of natural sciences such as mathematics, physics, computer science, etc., with which they are able to analyze and solve engineering problems by mathematical and scientific methods. Furthermore, they should acquire initial ability of technological innovation.

③ grasp relevant policies and regulations about science and technology, production safety, labor and environmental protection, etc. in the field of mine enterprise management. In the meanwhile, they should keep in step with the cutting edge of the theories and development of Mining Engineering and relevant industries both home and abroad.

④ acquire the ability of solving engineering problems in both opencast and underground mining with professional theories and technologies and therefore be able to in charge of designing, organization, construction and production management during mineral resources exploitation. Simultaneously, they should master the digital and visualization methods of mining production system so as to design and build a digital mine.

⑤ grasp the main knowledge about safety issues and management in the process of mineral resource exploitation and acquire the ability of analyzing and solving problems by relevant theories and techniques about safety science and engineering.

⑥ process good comprehensive quality, the oral and written expression ability as well as  communication skills, the unity spirit and the capability to work in cooperation, the ability of adapting to harsh environment and arduous work, the sense of lifelong education, etc.
