Mining Engineering

Vision

The department aims to play a greater role in the revival of the mining industry as one of the pillars of social and economic development of the country with due recognition to human rights and environmental preservation, thus creating harmonious relationship among citizen to enjoy an equal opportunity to God’s given resources.

Mission

The Department of Mining Engineering aims to produce competent and socially responsible professionals geared towards proper extraction and exploitation of economic mineral deposits in sustainable manner. It is committed to society to produce quality, environmentally-friendly and dedicated mining engineers with a high sense of professionalism and courage to accept challenges in life. We aim to develop Mining Engineers in the future in the environment that can do ordinary things extraordinarily that are within the bounds of stakeholders, government, non-government organization & concerns to fosters excellence through practice, academe and entrepreneurship.
