PRE REQUISITE
After the completion of 2nd
Semester and 4th
Semester end examination every student will
undergo ONE month of Practical Training in Underground Metal or Coal Mine and Surface
Mine (Mechanized) respectively in Karnataka or other places, where the permission is available.
COURSE OBJECTIVE
Industrial Training is one of the most essential components for a Diploma in Mining engineering.
The sole purpose of industrial training is to expose the students to “real life” situations. Different
aspect of mining such as geology, exploration, selection of method of working, selection of
machines for mining, environmental controls and measures, safety in mines and various statutory
provisions that can only be understood when the students are exposed to different mine
workings. Students will cover the training in different coal and metal mines both underground
and opencast in such a way that at the end of the completion of diploma programme, they are
conversant with different mining conditions. Industrial training also opens avenues of new
learning to the students and applies them during their project and industrial training
presentations.
Course Outcomes
A student who has completed this Course will be able to:
