3.00 Credits
Students in this course will learn about coal as a necessary natural resource, and how coal has been mined and used over the ages. They will learn about the history of coal, the good and the bad, as well as the impact coal has had on history. They will begin to learn about how coal is ranked and the difference between lignite, bituminous, and anthracite coals; how the calorific qualities and sulfur content of coal dictates where and how it can be burned. They will learn about coal miners, coal camps, the coal barons, the strikes, the often resulting violence, underground and surface mining, mine safety neglect, and the environmental impacts of coal mining and coal combustion. This course is the prerequisite for all other courses in the Coal Mining Safety and Administration curriculum.
-
3.00 Credits
In this course, students will get a broad overview of the geology of coal, the geologic time table as it can be viewed on the walls of the Grand Canyon, the specific geological time periods when coal was formed, how peat deposits were formed, and the physical and chemical alterations to peat deposits resulted in coal formation. In addition, students will continue to add to their knowledge of coal by learning about coal bearing rocks such as shale, sandstone, and limestone, the classification and ranks of coal, and the location of coal deposits in Kentucky, the United States and the World.
-
3.00 Credits
Topics include calculating coal reserves, coal prospecting, identification of coal seams by elevations, location-specific mining methods and mining costs calculations, coal severance tax and coal property valuations, and major owners of coal properties in the U.S. and the World.
-
3.00 Credits
Students will learn about the various methods by which coal was mined in the past, and how coal is currently mined, dealing specifically with the various methods used in underground mining, and those used in surface mining. Course will also deal with mine safety concerns in conjunction with each of the mining methods. They will see how coal mining has become somewhat easier for coal miners than in the past, but they will also see how the dangers to personal safety are even greater.
-
3.00 Credits
Students in this course study the electric utility industry in the U.S. and globally; coal as an essential fuel for the electric utility industry; coal in the manufacture of steel, , in cement production, in coal to liquid~, and in the production of various coal based products in the United States and world-wide. Students also learn about the whys and wherefores for the strategic locations of industries that rely on coal deliveries.
-
3.00 Credits
Students in this course will study how coal is matched to customers' specifications through sizing, such as crushing, and/or screening, and/or cleaning/washing the product prior to stockpiling or shipping. They will also learn about the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) and how ASTM standards specify how coal, and various other products, is to be sampled and analyzed. Students will also learn why coal is sampled and analyzed so many times from the time it is mined until it is burned, and will learn of sonic of the environmental consequences of coal processing.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the coal transportation industry from the perspective of the coal producer, the transportation company or companies, and the consumer.
