Welcome to Mining Engineering

 

The mining engineering program at West Virginia University began in 1868 when the first mine surveying course was offered. Our state-of-the-art laboratories include rock mechanics and ground control, mine ventilation, mine equipment, mine design, health and safety, longwall, coal preparation, and mineral processing. Mining Engineering graduates of West Virginia University are in heavy demand and become leaders in the United States coal industry.
