Mine Surveying University of Johannesburg

Overview

Specifically, the Bachelor of Mine Surveying at University of Johannesburg provides graduates with: 

• preparation in careers in mining engineering itself and areas that potentially benefit from engineering skills, for achieving technological proficiency and to make a contribution to the economy and national development;

• the educational base required to undertake PLATO stage 2 qualifications that will allow them to practice as registered professional Mine Surveyors

• for graduates with an appropriate level of achievement, the ability to enter NQF level 8 programmes and then proceed to a Master’s degree

• for certificated mine surveyors, the education base for achieving proficiency in mine surveryors and occupational health and safety.

Students who complete this programme will be able to:

• Systematically diagnose and solve broadly defined mining engineering and Mine Surveying problems by applying engineering and surveying principles;

• Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science and engineering sciences to defined and applied engineering procedures, processes, systems and methodologies to solve broadly defined mining engineering and surveying problems;

• Perform procedural and non-procedural design of broadly defined components, systems, works, products or processes to meet desired needs normally within applicable standards, codes of practice and legislation in mining engineering;
• Conduct investigations of broadly-defined problems; locate, search and select relevant data from codes, data bases and literature, design and conduct experiments, analyse and interpret results to provide valid conclusions;
