Description
Mining engineering is a discipline that decides whether underground and open pit natural resources (minerals) are suitable for exploitation, and takes part in production, excavation, ventilation, transportation, mineral processing and similar processes with different methods. 80 of the 90 mineral types produced in the world are in our country. The resources of our country are extremely diverse and it is like an open-air museum both in terms of mining and geology. One of the most beautiful aspects of this profession is that it works on nature and land, and unlike other engineering, it has intensive field applied courses. Due to the rising importance of mining in our country, TİM and YÖK announced the scholarship support in the university exam starting from the 2020-2021 academic year, and it was also announced that employment would be facilitated after graduation. It should not be overlooked that this support is not related to the closure of departments and that incentives are given to these areas since the state cannot find personnel to employ. Young people who will work on mining in the public, private sector or universities will increase both the quality of the work and the productivity. The most important element of our department is job opportunities. Approximately 80% of our graduates are working in our sector by finding a job and 76% of them can find a job within 1 year. It ranks 7th among 70 professions whose graduates start working with the highest wages. In the current conditions, it is understood that the employment opportunities of our students who have graduated so far are quite good in Turkey. This shows the industry's need for mining engineering.
