3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Prerequisite: MEM 304 or CEE 346 or equivalent. Modes of slope failure. Economic consequences of instability in mining and construction. Geological factors controlling stability of rock slopes. Shear strength of highly jointed rock mass and discontinuities. Projection methods. Vectoral analysis of 3-D problems by means of the stereographic projection method. Analytical, graphical and computer analysis of planar, wedge and toppling failures. Probabilistic methods. Students enrolled in MEM 550 will be held to a higher standard than those enrolled in MEM 450. This course is cross-listed with ENVE 450/550.
-
4.00 Credits
(4-0) 4 credits. Prerequisites or corequisite: MEM 302, MEM 304, MEM 401 and senior standing. A complete mine feasibility study conducted as a senior design project. Students will have a choice of designing one of the following: a surface or underground coal mine, a quarry, a surface or underground hard rock metal mine, or a sub-surface underground space (tunneling, large excavations, industrial/environmental underground storage site, or underground science laboratory). A comprehensive study of principles and practices involved in developing an ore deposit (surface or underground) starting with drill hole data following through with a complete feasibility study (based on financial returns on investment and sensitivity analysis) covering ore reserve calculations, and selection of mining methods and equipment. Computerized approach will be an integral part of the course: SurvCADD software and Vulcan software are available to use. In addition to a computerized model of the mine, a final written report and presentation in front of the class will be required.
-
2.00 Credits
(2-0) 2 credits. Prerequisite: Senior standing or permission of instructor. The study of critical management issues of fundamental importance to the mining industry: forms of management, organizational structures, project management and mine administration, risk management, and modern management tools. Development of leadership skills. Management of human resources.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
1 to 3 credits. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor. Includes directed study, problems, readings, directed readings, special problems, and special projects. Student complete individualized plans of study which include significant one-onone student/teacher involvement. The faculty member and students negotiate the details of the study plans. Enrollments are usually 10 or fewer students. Meeting depending on the requirements of the topic.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
1 to 3 credits. Includes current topics, advanced topics and special topics. A course devoted to a particular issue in a specified field. Course content is not wholly included in the regular curriculum. Guest artists or experts may service as instructors. Enrollments are usually 10 or fewer students with significant one-on-one student/teacher involvement.
-
4.00 Credits
(4-0) 4 credits. Prerequisite: Admission to M.S./MES or Ph.D./MES program or permission of instructor. The course is taught when the required seven student minimum is reached. The objective of this course is to provide students with the working knowledge required to understand principles governing engineering aspects of materials synthesis and manufacturing. Students are able to analyze the effect of transport phenomena, surface chemistry, solution thermodynamics and kinetics on design, control and process optimization of various materials processes.
-
4.00 Credits
(4-0) 4 credits. Prerequisite: Admission to M.S./MES or MES Ph.D. program or permission of instructor. The objective of this course is to provide students with working knowledge required to understand the principles of condensed matter physics with application to materials science and engineering. The students will be able to analyze basic experiments related to electronic structure of atoms and chemical bonding in solids, diffraction of x-rays and electrons by crystal lattices, lattice dynamics, elastic and thermal properties of solids, electronic band structure, classification of solids, dynamics of electrons in crystals, optical properties of solids, doped semiconductors, p-n junctions and hetero-junctions, dielectric properties of insulators, piezoelectricity, electrostriction, ferroelectricity, and magnetic properties of solids (dia-, para-, and ferro-magnetism).
-
4.00 Credits
(4-0) 4 credits. Prerequisite: Admission to M.S./MES or MES Ph.D. program or permission of instructor. The object of this course is to provide students with the working knowledge required to understand the theoretical chemical basis for chemical and physical properties of crystalline, ceramic, polymeric and metallic materials. Students will be able to analyze macroscopic properties on the basis of underlying chemical concepts.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
1 to 3 credits. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor. Directed independent study of a topic or field of special interest. This may involve readings, research, laboratory or fieldwork, and preparation of papers, as agreed to in advanced, by student and instructor.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
1 to 3 credits. Lecture course or seminar on a topic or field of special interest, as determined by the instructor. This course is cross-listed with MES 792.
