Ask A Mining Engineer #1: What The Heck Is A Mining Engineer

[9120jf]

he's clearly a raging homosexual

[SanQae]

That's just like minecraft in real life :D

[JustBeCooler]

One word for you mate ARSESTABBER

[q12211q]

this video makes the mining industry look like a joke...

[DrWisal]

huh!!!!!!!!!ok...

[edratliff]

Just finished up a mine design today to make some lucky mine owner $700,000,000+ over the next couple of years...crazy huh?

[adhiluhur]

could you tell me the university in the world which is offering the best mining engineering in undergraduate level?

[TheBizzzzayB]

@adhiluhur University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada is a great place to study. Widely recognized across the world and won the Mining Games within Canada last year.

[TheBizzzzayB]

@adhiluhur The University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada is a very prestigious and recognized around the world. We won Mining Games (a competition between all mining school across Canada) last year.

haha you guys are so funny. Neva seen someone so excited about mining. going for a mining job interview on Monday. Hope I get it :)

[duguder]

With the recent disaster in mind I was wondering why they don't use robot. Don't know much about mining but logically you drill a hole, plug dynamite in and backhoe into a conveyor. All this can be done by today's robot.

[TheBizzzzayB]

@duguder That is a very very crude definition of mining. Many places do use explosives (usually ANFO) but many also do not. Ore is very rarely backhoe'd straight on to a conveyor without usually being transported via truck (Cat 797 or Liebherr T282 for example) to a breaker/crusher before being transported. For the most part, as far as the labor goes, it is pretty straight forward and one day robots will be mining everything.  Mark my words. Robots don't plan mines very well though.

[LstCowboy]

very interesting ,,,,,,,hmmm!

[guitarplyr2255]

I'm a mining engineering student and I love these videos.

People watching these video's might think you're joking, but everything you are saying is true. It's like reading an interesting textbook.

[xxxsciencexxx]

ooh man i liked your style xD i am studying at mining engineer and u guy explained what mine engineer does nicely . hehe

[spydiscythe]

do Mining engineers work with explosives?

[xxxsciencexxx]

@spydiscythe of course they work .

[TheBizzzzayB]

@spydiscythe Yes, sometimes. Not all mining engineers get jobs mining ores that require explosive use to extract the ore, and thus, may not work with explosives. Many, many, on the other hand, do utilize explosives since most deposits are very stubborn in situ and it's a lot easier on the mining equipment.

Watching March of the engineers and now this, I'm curious as to what exactly is the UQ law revue. Is it just a social thing done once a year by the law students or??

[almostfamous83]

Yeah, the law revue is an annual sketch show the University of Queensland Law students put on, with live skits, songs, and short films. A lot of other universities and colleges over the world do them as well.

March of the Engineers was one we did in 2006 for the revue, but anything else engineer-related wasn't for the revue. I did those for a website called "Drill In" which was to encourage people to consider careers in mining and engineering.

[ivydagamer4life]

hey this is the course what I really want so bad! too sad it doesn't have any offered on colleges in the Phil.. :( but my major now is Industrial engineering

[Farbog]

in mining engineering, have you a risk of rocks falls?, maths and physic are not a problem for me but I would like to know if I will work in healthy and safe conditions.

[j3tpil0t]

Haha clever!

Im starting my degree in feb! math math math, physics, math, chem math. math.

math.

[aborre84]

Ha I liked it? But then again im a mining engineer. What schhol are these guys from?

[emmycooldude]

UQ Law

[almostfamous83]

To clarify, these mining engineer videos weren't done for the Law Revue.

The only engineering video done for the Revue was "March of the Engineers".

[FuzzySpyder]

SDSMT!!!

[Linkminer]

I liked it. But then again, I worked with mining engineers and they always crack me up.

Let's see you on the job with the miners. Maybe in the mine.

[DanteAligieri]

That's what happens when stupidity tries to copy a good idea and makes the whole concept hideous... I would rather watch my cat being eaten by an anaconda... that would be more entertaining...

[almostfamous83]

Mate, even *I* think watching your cat being eaten by an anaconda would be more entertaining than mine. :D

[donsherio]

wait... was taht Caitlyn Hill???? Hill88????? (Btw really funny)
