An "Option" within the College of Engineering is a prescribed set of courses that provides a concentration of specialized training in one particular field of study in the Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.E.) program. Options are approved at the College level but are unique to Departments within the College, consisting of at least 15 credit units, none of which are core courses taken by all students within the Department.
The Mining Option offers students in the Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.E.) Mechanical Engineering program the opportunity to take five courses, plus complete a mandatory minimum twelve-month work placement through the Engineering Co-op Internship Program.
