Bachelor of Mine and Engineering Surveying
Curtin University, Perth, WA, Australia
About this program
The Bachelor of Mine and Engineering Surveying is an industry connected course that ensures that graduates are job ready through a mix of theoretical and practical content. The first 2 years of the Bachelor of Mine and Engineering Surveying are delivered in Bentley with the 3rd year delivered at Curtin University’s W.A. School of Mines campus in Kalgoorlie. Studying in Kalgoorlie in the final year, students receive real-world practical fieldwork experience in working mines in one of the most significant mining regions in Australia. Mine and Engineering Surveying is a specialist area of modern-day surveying. Mine surveyors are responsible for the measurement, representation and management of data associated with a mining operation. The core responsibilities of the mine surveyor include the marking out, measurement and maintenance of direction for all surface and underground workings on a mine site. A mine surveyor is also legally responsible, under government regulations, for the preparation and updating of all mine surveying plans for open pit and underground workings. The engineering surveyor plays a key role in the construction industry to ensure that the locations, in three dimensions, of all civil engineering works are placed in their correct position and orientation. Engineering surveying generally precedes all types of construction associated with roads and bridges, tunnels, buildings, industrial plants and hydraulic engineering. Students study the use of advanced technology and scientific principles to provide practical solutions and services to industry, in land development, construction, mining and mapping.
