    Expected Course Outcome:


    After going through the course a student may be expected to

     Identify and describe the process of prospecting and exploration of minerals.


     Explain terminologies used in mining and describe the fundamentals of underground
    mine layouts.
     Describe the various types of means of access to mineral deposits.
     Explain rudimentary aspects of designing shafts/ inclines/ adits etc. and apply the
    knowledge in designing means of access to mines.
     Describe the fundamentals of support system design for both conventional and
    mechanised underground mines.
